Shoppers should not open or drink the cans, and should dispose of them safely rather than return them to shops
Low-alcohol brewery Lucky Saint has issued an urgent recall of one of its beers over concerns the cans could explode. An alert published by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) on Wednesday states: “Lucky Saint is recalling Hazy IPA products because some cans may become over-pressurised and rupture unexpectedly.”
The affected product is Lucky Saint’s 0.5% Hazy IPA, sold in packs of 4 x 330ml cans with a best before date of August 13, 2027. The FSA warned “there is a risk that the cans may explode which may cause injury”.
Customers at retailers stocking the cans will notice point-of-sale alerts about the recall, which read: “We are recalling Lucky Saint 0.5% Hazy IPA 4 x 330ml because some cans may become over-pressurised. This can cause cans to swell, leak or rupture unexpectedly, presenting a risk of physical injury.”
Consumers are also being advised to “not drink it or open it”.
Shoppers can claim a full refund with proof of purchase, and the notice further instructs them to safely dispose of the cans rather than returning them to shops.
It advises that “to safely dispose of the product; handle the cans as little as possible, place them carefully, upright, in a sealed bag and dispose of them with your household waste”.
