SAN FRANCISCO \u2013Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. announced a recall Sunday of certain 12-ounce bottles of its pale ales, IPA’s and other beers after detecting a packaging flaw that could cause a piece of glass to break off into the bottle.<\/p>\n

In a statement Sunday, it said the recall applies to eight different types of its craft beers, including its popular Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, purchased in 36 states across the Midwest, the South and East Coast of the United States.<\/p>\n

The California-based company issued the voluntary recall after quality inspections at its Mills River, North Carolina, brewery detected a limited number of bottles made with a flaw \u201cthat may cause a small piece of glass to break off and possibly fall into the bottle, creating a risk of injury,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

The affected beer has a package date that falls between Dec. 5, 2016, and Jan. 13, 2017 and a brewery code of \u201cM\u201d \u2013which stands of Mills River \u2013printed directly on bottles and the packaging of cardboard cases.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have decided to take this precaution to ensure the safety of our customers,\u201d Mike Bennett, chief supply chain officer, was quoted as saying. He said Sierra Nevada had not received any consumer reports of injuries, and it believed the concern could impact about 1 in every 10,000 \u2013or .01 per cent \u2013of its bottles packaged during the five-week time period.<\/p>\n

Aside from its Pale Ale, the Sierra Nevada recall includes 12-ounce bottles of its Beer Camp Golden IPA, Sidecar Orange Pale Ale, Torpedo Extra IPA, Tropical Torpedo, Nooner, Hop Hunter and Otra Vez.<\/p>\n

The company has stopped distributing all affected beer and is working to have it removed from retails shelves, the statement said. Consumers were urged to check the company’s website for details on the recall and not to drink any of the recalled beer, which would be fully refunded.<\/p>\n

The recall applies to the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachussets, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Vermont, Wisconsin and West Virginia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
