Constellation issues Corona Extra beer voluntary recall

Constellation Brands Beer Division announced a voluntary recall of select packages in the United States containing 12-oz. clear glass bottles of its Corona Extra beer that may contain small particles of glass.

The voluntary recall covers 12-oz. clear bottles in select 6-pack, 12-pack and 18-pack packages containing bottles with the production codes listed below.

This recall comes after routine inspections in the company's quality control laboratory detected defects in certain bottles that could cause small particles of glass to break off and fall into the bottle.

The affected bottles came from one of four glass plants run by a third party manufacturer, which supplies the company the bottles.

While the company believes that less than 1 percent of the bottles produced from the plant may be affected, it is recalling select packages that may contain defective bottles to ensure the safety of consumers.

As of Friday, the company has received no reports of injuries resulting from the affected bottles.
