Kinney Drugs Recalls Kinney Brand WaterDate: 9/15/2006
Reason: Water recalled for High levels of Bromate
Distribution: Nationwide.
WASHINGTON , D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Gouverneur, NY -- August 30, 2006 -- Kinney Drugs announced it is implementing a voluntary recall by the manufacturer of all sizes of Kinney brand water with a "sell by date" between June 27, 2008 and August 4, 2008. The "sell by date" is located on the neck of Kinney brand water bottles. Kinney Drugs removed the affected water from its shelves on August 23, 2006 and subsequently ordered it destroyed at store level. Extra warehouse stock of the affected water has been returned to the manufacturer. The water is being recalled due to bromate levels that exceed the United States Food and Drug Administration standard. If customers have purchased Kinney brand water showing the affected "sell by dates" indicated, it can be returned to any Kinney Drugs for a full refund. Based on information from the FDA and the New York State Department of Health, the level of bromate discovered is not a health risk in humans. "We want to assure our customers that the water does not pose a health risk. Studies have shown that this level of bromate does not cause illness in humans," commented Craig Painter, CEO, Kinney Drugs. "However, since the water packaged within the affected dates does not meet FDA standards, Kinney Drugs will be implementing this voluntary recall." Kinney Drugs customers can return Kinney brand water with the following UPC codes and "Sell By Dates" to their local Kinney Drugs for a full refund:
***SELL BY DATES 6/27/2008 THRU 8/4/2008****
