Saxco International is recalling about 8,370 glass carboys because they can break due to an improper cooling process during manufacturing. These carboys are large glass jugs used by home brewers for holding and transporting beer, wine, cider, and mead. The firm has received 30 reports of the glass carboys breaking, though no injuries have been reported. The recalled jugs were sold in three, five, six, and six-point-five-gallon sizes and were available individually or as part of TrueBrew or HCS equipment kits. Consumers should immediately stop using these carboys and return them for a full refund.
The glass in these carboys can break unexpectedly during use, creating sharp shards that pose a significant laceration hazard to consumers. There have been 30 reported incidents of the glass breaking, which increases the likelihood of injury.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled carboys and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
