Beware of Glass in Smirnoff Ice Bottles

Glass Particles in Smirnoff Ice Bottles

A voluntary recall was issued on September 4, 2015, for a variety of Smirnoff Ice products due to possible glass particles contamination in the flavored vodka drink bottles. Notice of this is now posted in Ontario, BC, and other Provincial Liquor stores. We are trying to assist in getting out the message to avoid drinking these products. They can be returned to the liquor store for a refund.

Smirnoff’s parent company, Diageo Canada, announced that there were quality issues that could potentially cause pieces of glass to break off inside bottles purchased on or after July 24, 2015. It stated that the defective bottles were supplied from a third-party glass manufacturer in Canada.
