Costco is withdrawing its Prosecco Valdobbiadene from Kirkland Signature from the market, arguing that unopened bottles of wine could break without being touched.
In a letter posted on its website, the company warned customers in 12 Midwest and Southern states to immediately discard the bottles by wrapping the open bottle in paper towels and placing it in a plastic bag before placing it in the trash to avoid the risk of broken glass.
The warning was addressed to customers who bought Prosecco between April 25 and August 25 this year in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
Customers were told not to return the item to a store, but to submit the proof of purchase to a store to receive a refund.
It is unclear how many complaints Costco received, if any, about the broken prosecco before the withdrawal notice.
