Dalston’s Soda Company is recalling affected cans of Dalston’s Pineapple Soda because they may break apart unexpectedly and leave sharp edges. Customers should not open or drink the affected cans, and the Food Standards Agency says they should not be returned to store.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) alert is marked England and Scotland specific. It covers two Dalston’s Pineapple Soda products.
The company’s point-of-sale notice says the best-before date is printed on the base of the can. It also says no other Dalston’s products or batch codes are affected.
The FSA says there is a risk that the cans may break apart unexpectedly, which could cause injury.
Dalston’s point-of-sale notice describes the issue as a packaging defect and says some cans may rupture unexpectedly, leaving sharp edges. The public alert describes the injury risk but does not list any confirmed injury reports.
Customers should check the product name, pack size, batch code and best-before date before taking any further action.
The safest way to identify an affected product is to look for the batch code and best-before date without opening the can. If a can matches the recalled product details, do not drink it and do not try to pour it away.
The FSA says anyone who has bought an affected product should not try to open it and should not return it to the store. Customers are told to avoid unnecessary handling and safely dispose of the product in an external waste bin.
The company’s store notice adds that cans should be handled as little as possible and placed carefully, upright, in a sealed bag before disposal.
Dalston’s is offering a full refund. The company’s notice says no receipt is needed and gives refund@dalstons.com and 07495169638 for refund requests. The FSA alert also lists recall@dalstons.com and points customers to Dalston’s recall page.
Dalston’s Soda Company is recalling the affected products. The FSA says point-of-sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores selling the recalled cans.
Those notices are intended to explain why the product has been recalled and what customers should do if they have bought it. The public FSA alert does not name every retailer selling the affected products.
The recall could be updated if the FSA or Dalston’s issues new advice, adds more batch codes or changes the refund process. For now, the official advice is to avoid opening the affected cans, dispose of them safely and contact Dalston’s for a refund.
This article should be updated if the FSA alert changes, if Dalston’s publishes revised consumer instructions, or if further affected products are listed.
