High Noon has issued a recall of one of its popular vodka seltzer drinks, saying some packages may contain Celsius energy drink cans filled with the alcoholic beverage.
The cans, labeled as Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz Edition, were found in certain shipments of High Noon's Beach Variety 12-packs.
The error could cause people to unknowingly consume alcohol, which poses health and safety risks, especially for children or those who avoid it for medical or religious reasons. There have been no illnesses or injuries reported in connection with this recall.
The issue was traced to a packaging supplier that accidently sent Celsius-branded cans to High Noon's facility, according to a statement on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's website.
The affected products were shipped to retailers and distributors in late July. They were distributed to multiple states including Florida, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin.
High Noon is urging customers to throw away any Celsius cans that may be affected and contact the company for a refund.
High Noon is one of the fastest-growing ready-to-drink alcohol brands in the U.S., owned by E. & J. Gallo Winery. The brand is best known for its fruit-flavored vodka seltzers sold in variety packs.
