Brooklyn Delhi is recalling 18,048 units of its Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce sold in 5 oz. glass bottles. The product may become pressurized due to unintended fermentation occurring inside the bottle, which can cause the contents to erupt forcefully when the cap is opened. No injuries have been reported to date, and consumers are advised to return the product for a refund or dispose of it immediately.
The fermentation process creates gas that builds up pressure within the sealed glass bottle. When opened, this pressure can cause the hot sauce or the cap to spray out or eject with significant force, potentially causing impact injuries to a person's eyes, face, and hands.
