The following health alert is from the consumerist on June 22, 2015.

Niagara® is issuing a voluntary recall for all Spring Water products produced from its Pennsylvania manufacturing facilities during the June 10th – June 18th time frame because of possible e-coli contamination of the water source. List of affected brands:

Niagara is telling consumers: “DO NOT DRINK THE AFFECTED WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST OR USE OTHER BOTTLED WATER. Bring all affected water to a boil, let it boil for one minute, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water.

To determine if your product is affected, please reference the following information on the code, which can be found on the bottle. The code will indicate the place, date and time that the product was produced.

The only affected products have codes that begin with the letter F (for Hamburg) or A (for Allentown). The first digit after the letter indicates the number of the production line. The next two numbers indicate the day, then the month in letters, the year, and then the time, based on a 24-hour clock.


Example: A610JUN15 2000 (Allentown line 6, manufactured on June 10, 2015 at 8pm)

For more information, consumers may contact Niagara Bottling, LLC Consumer Service at (877) 487-7873.
