Coravin is recalling approximately 65,000 of its Coravin 1000 Wine Access Systems because the device can cause wine bottles to break during the pressurization process. There have been 13 reports of bottles breaking, including one incident where a bottle burst into four pieces, causing two chipped teeth and a laceration requiring stitches. These silver and black metallic systems were sold at Coravin.com, wine shops, and other online retailers between July 2013 and June 2014 for about $300. Consumers will receive a free repair kit consisting of a neoprene sleeve and updated safety instructions.
The system uses argon gas to pressurize wine bottles, which can cause them to crack or burst into sharp glass fragments if the bottle has existing flaws. This posing a significant risk of lacerations and dental injuries to the user or bystanders.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled wine access system and contact Coravin for a free repair kit that includes a neoprene wine bottle sleeve to contain broken glass when a bottle breaks and updated instructions and warnings. The wine access system should not be used on wine bottles with damages or flaws.
