Sweet Leaf Tea Recall

The Sweet Leaf Tea Company is recalling 1.5 million bottles of iced tea because of the possible presence of glass fragments.

The voluntary recall involves six flavors of teas in 16-ounce glass bottles that were distributed between February 27 and December 6, 2015. The flavors include: raspberry, half and half lemonade tea, original, green tea with citrus, peach and mint and honey.

The recall does not affect plastic bottle products.

In a press release issued Thursday the company said it’s recalling the products out of an abundance of caution. “This was the result of glass breakage during the filling process,” the company said. “Consumers could potentially be cut or injured if ingested.” All recalled products are being removed from store shelves.

Sweet Leaf, which is owned by Nestlé Waters, said it has received four complaints of glass being found in the product, but no injuries.

If you have any of the affected products, or questions, please contact the Sweet Leaf toll free number at 1-877-832-5323 Monday-Friday between 8AM-8PM EST.

Consumers who bought the recalled products may call the company at 1-877-832-5323 to request a replacement or return it to the store for a refund.
