Costco Recalls Over 940,000 Bottles of Kirkland Signature Prosecco Due to Laceration Hazard
Costco, the popular American multinational retailer, has issued a recall of over 940,000 bottles of its Kirkland brand Signature Prosecco Valdobbiadene, citing a potential “laceration hazard” associated with the product. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the prosecco’s manufacturer, F&F Fine Wines International Inc., has received at least 10 reports of the bottles shattering or breaking, resulting in one laceration injury.
Details of the Recall
The affected prosecco bottles were sold in green bottles with purple foil and a purple label that read “Kirkland Signature Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG.” The product was sold for approximately $8 and was available at Costco stores in several states, including Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin, between April 2025 and August 2025. The universal product code of the affected drinks is 196633883742, and the Costco item number is 1879870.
Customers who have purchased the beverage are advised not to attempt to open it and should instead place it in paper towels or a plastic bag before disposing of it, as per the CPSC’s guidelines. The recall is a precautionary measure to prevent any further injuries or accidents.
Background and Previous Recall
The prosecco is manufactured by F&F Fine Wines International Inc., which does business as Ethica Wines, and is made in Italy. Interestingly, this is not the first time the product has been recalled. In September, Costco recalled the same product due to concerns that the unopened prosecco bottles could shatter even before being opened or when not being handled. At the time, the chain did not respond to requests asking if any injuries had been reported.
The CPSC is responsible for protecting consumers from hazardous products, and this recall highlights the importance of monitoring and reporting potential safety issues. As a responsible retailer, Costco is taking proactive steps to ensure customer safety and prevent any further incidents.
