High Noon is currently conducting a recall of its vodka seltzers due to a significant packaging error that resulted in these beverages being placed in containers that were intended for Celsius energy drinks.

Understanding the High Noon Energy Drinks Packaging Error
High Noon is specifically recalling two production batches of its High Noon Beach Variety packs. Reports from the Associated Press indicate that some of the vodka beverages were mispackaged and labeled as Celsius Astro Vibe Energy Drink. This recall was officially announced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which issued a notice on Wednesday detailing the situation. The cans containing the vodka seltzer were found in packaging designed for the “sparkling blue razz”-flavored Celsius Astro Vibe energy drinks, leading to this mix-up.
High Noon has confirmed that consuming the contents from the Celsius cans could lead to unintentional alcohol ingestion, which poses a risk to consumers who may not be aware of the product they are consuming. Retailers in several states, including Florida, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin, received these mislabeled shipments, making it essential for customers in these areas to check their products.
How High Noon Discovered the Labeling Mistake
High Noon initiated this recall after the company identified that a shared packaging supplier had mistakenly sent them empty cans meant for Celsius energy drinks. This oversight was promptly addressed by the company, which has stated that it has not received any reports of illnesses or adverse effects stemming from this labeling error. To ensure consumer safety, High Noon has advised customers to dispose of any Celsius cans that have the impacted codes mentioned in the recall notice. It is particularly important for customers to check those cans of Sparkling Blue Razz Celsius Astro Vibe energy drinks for the specified codes to avoid any potential issues.
Walmart Faces Significant Recall Due to Dangerous Product Defects
In mid-July, Walmart was in the spotlight for a large-scale recall concerning various drinks, not solely limited to energy drinks. The retailer faced serious backlash after announcing a hazardous defect in 850,000 water bottles. Tragically, by the time the Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall statement, two individuals had suffered permanent vision loss due to the defect. The recall statement outlined that the 64-ounce Ozark Trail bottles posed a risk when used for storing food, milk, juice, or carbonated beverages for extended periods. It was reported that the lids of these bottles had the tendency to shoot off with considerable force, which resulted in serious injuries to two customers who were struck in the eye.
