Tropicana Pure Premium 128-oz Calcium
Being Recalled
BRADENTON, Fla. – February
20, 2002. In the interest of consumer safety, Tropicana Products, Inc. today
announced a voluntary recall of 128 oz/gallon “super size” Tropicana Pure
Premium Calcium Orange Juice in a plastic bottle with an expiration date of
APR15 printed on the neck of the bottle.
The recalled product was sold
only to Sam’s Clubs. A limited number of bottles of this product may contain a
cleaning solution used in the production process. The presence of this cleaning
solution in the product could cause mouth and/or stomach distress.
The
product has already been removed from the sales floor. Consumers should return
the 128 oz. Pure Premium Calcium orange juice to the Sam’s Club where
purchased for a refund.
About 500 bottles of 128 oz.
Pure Premium Calcium orange juice were inadvertently exposed to a cleaning
solution used in the normal cleaning of bottling equipment. In the interest of
consumer safety, however, Tropicana is voluntarily recalling the entire
production run sold to Sam’s Club.
No other Tropicana products or
sizes are affected nor are other retailers.
