For example, in a recent situation, Costco\u00a0issued a recall on the company&#8217;s bestselling Kirkland Signature Prosecco.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m-detail-header--title\">The reason for this recall was because bottles were exploding and it poses a danger to consumers. This specific popular sparkling wine was sold in about 12 states. Although no injuries have been reported yet, there remains a significant risk when it comes to this product. This is especially the case because there is a possibility that thousands of consumers still have the bottles in their homes.<\/p>\n<p>However, the latest FDA recall that is impacting the retail giants, is not a Kirkland-labeled product.
