Constellation Brands Recalls Select Packages Of 12 Oz. Corona Extra Beer

(RTTNews) - Constellation Brands Inc.' (STZ) Beer Division announced a voluntary recall of select packages in the U.S. containing 12-ounce clear glass bottles of its Corona Extra beer that may contain small particles of glass. The company specified that it has received no reports of injuries resulting from the affected bottles.

The company noted that the recall covers 12-ounce clear bottles in certain selective six-pack, 12-pack and 18-pack packages. The company said this recall comes after routine inspections in its quality control laboratory detected defects in certain bottles that could cause small particles of glass to break off and fall into the bottle.

The affected bottles came from one of four glass plants run by a third party manufacturer, which supplies the company the bottles. The company believes that less than 1 percent of the bottles produced from the plant may be said it affected.

STZ closed Friday's regular trading session at $87.47.
