Major beer brand recalls product over fears cans could explode

Low-alcohol brewer Lucky Saint has withdrawn one of its beers over concerns that the cans could explode.

A notice issued by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) on Wednesday states: "Lucky Saint is recalling Hazy IPA products because some cans may become over-pressurised and rupture unexpectedly."

The affected line being removed from sale is Lucky Saint’s 0.5 per cent Hazy IPA, which is sold in packs of four 330ml cans carrying a best before date of 13 August, 2027.

The FSA warned that "there is a risk that the cans may explode which may cause injury".

Shoppers at stores which sell the cans will see notices about the food recall alert stating: “We are recalling Lucky Saint 0.5% Hazy IPA 4 x 330ml because some cans may become over-pressurised.

“This can cause cans to swell, leak or rupture unexpectedly, presenting a risk of physical injury.”

The beer which is being pulled from the shelves is Lucky Saint’s 0.5% Hazy IPA which comes in a pack of 4 x 330ml cans and has a best before date of 13 August, 2027. (Lucky Saint)

They are warned “do not drink it or open it”.

Shoppers can seek a refund with proof of purchase and the notice also advises them to safely dispose of the cans and not to return them to the store.

It states that “to safely dispose of the product; handle the cans as little as possible, place them carefully, upright, in a sealed bag and dispose of them with your household waste”.
