CHICAGO, Ill., - MARCH 9, 2016 – Constellation Brands Beer Division announced today a voluntary recall of select Corona Extra 12-packs and 18-packs of 12 ounce clear bottles with deposit labels in the U.S. and Guam that may contain small particles of glass. This recall is very limited in scope, as potentially affected bottles represent less than one-tenth of one percent of Corona Extra 12-ounce clear bottles in the marketplace. Production codes for the potentially impacted bottles are listed below.

This recall comes after routine quality assurance inspections at two AB InBev breweries that produce some of Constellation Brands’ beer products on an interim basis. While the number of impacted bottles is relatively small, Constellation is recalling select packages of Corona Extra that may contain defective bottles as a precaution to ensure the safety of consumers. To date, the company has received no consumer complaints or reports of injuries resulting from the affected bottles.

“The safety and well-being of consumers is our top priority and we take matters pertaining to the quality of our products very seriously,” said Paul Hetterich, President, Constellation Brands Beer Division. “Since learning of this issue, we immediately began working with AB InBev and jointly took prompt action to investigate the issue. We’re actively working with our distributor partners and retailers to quickly resolve the matter. We’re committed to doing everything possible to complete this recall quickly and ensure the safety of our consumers and integrity of our products.”

All recalled products are being removed from the market. The company encourages consumers who have packages and bottles marked with the production codes below to visit http://www.coronaextrausa.com/recall or call (866) 204-9407 for instructions on reimbursement.

Constellation Brands (NYSE: STZ and STZ.B) is a leading international producer and marketer of beer, wine and spirits with operations in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, New Zealand and Italy.
