00:00Costco issues urgent recall over spontaneously exploding bottles.

00:05Prosecco is meant to be popped in celebration, not to explode unexpectedly in someone's kitchen.

00:11Costco recalls Kirkland Signature Prosecco Valdobiadon, due to a risk of spontaneous shattering.

00:17Affected bottles were purchased between April 25th and August 26th in 12 Midwest states.

00:23In a letter to members, Costco gave a stark warning.

00:26If you have an unopened bottle, do not open it. Dispose of the bottle immediately by wrapping

00:30the unopened bottle in paper towels and placing it in a plastic bag before placing it in the

00:35garbage to avoid risk from shattered glass. The company emphasized that customers shouldn't

00:40return the bottles. Instead, a refund is provided upon showing the recall letter at Costco locations.

00:48No serious injuries have occurred, but incidents like Cork's self-launching have been reported.

00:53In one instance, a cork hit a friend's eye as Prosecco splashed at a bridal shower.

00:59The recall is just the latest among several safety alerts for Costco products.

01:04Earlier, the retailer pulled Dubai-style chocolate due to undisclosed gluten.

01:09Anchor Power Bank's A1257 models faced recalls over overheating batteries.

01:14Other incidents include Bowflex dumbbell injuries and bacteria-contaminated Topo Chico mineral

01:19water. Recalls aren't limited to Costco. Walmart recalled 110,000 Paris Hilton mini-beauty fridges

01:26due to safety concerns. Similarly, the FDA recalled over 57,000 burrito meals from Target for undeclared

01:33shrimp. Customers are urged to prioritize safe disposal of affected products over refunds to

01:39prevent injury.
