E&J Brandy Announces Recall of Stainless Steel Flasks, Possible Lead Risk

E&J Brandy has announced a voluntary recall on many of their stainless steel flasks included in gift sets from the years 2006 through 2010.   This is a voluntary recall, and applies only to stainless steel flasks manufactured for E&J Brandy.   Recent laboratory results showed brandy that was stored in the flask may show elevated levels of lead under certain conditions.

This recall does not pertain to any bottles of E&J Brandy.

The flasks involved in the recall are the 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 E&J® VSOP gift sets are silver, rectangular in shape and have "E&J VSOP" etched on the front.  The affected flasks included in the 2006 E&J® XO gift sets are silver and round in shape with "E&J" etched on the front.  These gift sets were sold throughout the United States through a variety of retail stores as recently as this past holiday season.  Some flasks in leather cases were also given away as a promotional item in 2007.

Consumers in possession of an affected stainless steel flask should call the consumer recall hotline at 1-866-959-8477 at any time for instructions on how to return the product and receive a full refund. The brandy contained in the gift set is unaffected and may be safely consumed but any brandy or other liquid in the flask should not be consumed.
