The Bay Area\u2019s Blue Bottle Coffee<\/a> has issued a voluntary recall of their Coffee Can<\/a> after reports that opening the container have led to injury. The company is offering a full refund on any unopened Coffee Cans from the approximately 194,000 in circulation.<\/p>\n A 2019 Design Lab winner<\/a> for packaging at this year\u2019s Specialty Coffee Expo<\/a>, the six-ounce Blue Bottle Coffee Can was the company\u2019s attempt at finding a \u201cbalance between a compostable or recyclable product and one that extends freshness,\u201d as Forbes<\/a> described it in their feature on the then-announced receptacle. Per the article, the Coffee Cans were able to increase a \u201c[coffee\u2019s] lifespan up to 4 months \u2013 far greater than the two-week lifespan of roasted coffee in a bag.\u201d<\/p>\n Per the voluntary recall issued on May 9th, \u201cthe lid may detach rapidly with force when opened, causing the beans to eject from the can,\u201d which \u201cposes an injury hazard.\u201d As of issuing the recall, Blue Bottle had been made known of 13 instances of the rapidly detaching lid, with one that led to injury, a cut to the finger. As a recipient of half a dozen stitches to the finger due to an untimely run-in with a metal lid from a canister of tennis balls, let me just say that those lids are no joke.<\/p>\n The company is now recalling \u201call varieties of Hayes Valley Espresso, Bella Donovan, Giant Steps, Three Africas, and Night Light Decaf 170g\/6oz whole bean Coffee Cans with all best-by dates\u201d and telling consumers to discontinue opening any further cans. Coffee Cans that have already been opened pose \u201cno safety risk to consuming the coffee.\u201d<\/p>\n Unopened cans that were purchased via \u201cAmazon.com, GoodEggs.com, Whole Foods Markets, Target, and other grocery retailers nationwide\u201d are to be returned to their place of purchase for a full refund. As of press time, the Coffee Can has been removed for sale from Blue Bottle’s website.<\/p>\n For more information on the recall, visit Blue Bottle Coffee\u2019s official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n Zac Cadwalader<\/a>\u00a0is the managing editor at Sprudge Media Network and a staff writer based in Dallas.\u00a0Read more Zac Cadwalader\u00a0on Sprudge<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n Top image via Blue Bottle Coffee<\/em><\/p>\n Disclosure: Blue Bottle Coffee is an advertising partner with the Sprudge Media Network<\/em><\/p>\n The post Blue Bottle Recalls All Unopened Coffee Cans<\/a> appeared first on Sprudge<\/a>.<\/p>\n Source: Coffee News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Bay Area\u2019s Blue Bottle Coffee has issued a voluntary recall of their Coffee Can after reports that opening the container have led to injury.
