A MAJOR warning has been issued to the Irish public after a popular product has been recalled amid fears it contains glass.
A specific batch of Newcastle Brown Ale, owned by Heineken UK, has been recalled.
The producer fears that the batch contains “glass fragments upon opening the bottle”.
The particular batch is a 550ml bottle of the alcoholic drink.
The product code is L4321, L4322, L4323, L4324, L4325 and L4326.
Consumers have been advised not to drink the product, and point of sale recall notices will be placed in shops.
Manufacturers and wholesalers, distributors, caterers & retailers have been asked to remove the product from shelves.
They are also urged to display point of sale notices in store.
And those who have sold the product are asked to contact their affected customers.
They should then recall the implicated batch and issue point of sale recall notices to their customers.
A message from the Food Safety Authority Ireland reads: “Heineken UK is recalling the above batches of Newcastle Brown Ale due to the presence of glass fragments upon opening the bottles.
“Point-of-sale recall notices will be displayed in stores.”
Meanwhile, Irish parents have been hit with a major warning about a chemical risk in a popular children‘s toy.
A recall of the product, which is sold on discount website Temu, has been issued.
The LED spinning top with button batteries is the toy in question amid safety fears.
The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission issued the recall after a chemical fault in the toy was reported.
The battery compartment on the toy can easily be opened, giving easy access to small button batteries.
The small batteries are considered a choking hazard, despite coming in many children’s toys.
Tots could put the small item in their mouth and easily choke on them.
The GoodsID for the recalled item is 601099545120913.
And the product identification number is 5411677678.
It’s thought there are some 603 of the items in houses around Ireland.
If parents have bought the small toy, they should take it away from their child and keep it out of their reach.
