On July 30, the hard seltzer brand High Noon issued a recall of its vodka seltzer products after they were mistakenly labeled as Celsius energy drinks. According to a statement High Noon shared with CNN, the recall was necessary due to a "labeling error from our can supplier." The company added that it is working closely with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), distributors, and retailers to resolve the issue.
High Noon stated it is recalling two production lots, referring to it as a "small batch."
But what exactly is a product recall? A recall is a request from a manufacturer to return a product after the discovery of safety issues or product defects that might endanger the consumer or put the maker/seller at risk of legal action. And the practice is nothing new. Cars, for example, were being withdrawn from the market as early as 1973 in order for modifications to be carried out. Since then, thousands of different products have been subject to withdrawal, and even outright bans.
