Customers are being warned not to open nearly 1 million bottles of prosecco that were sold at Costco.
F&F Fine Wines recalled its Kirkland Signature Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG bottles sold by Costco "due to laceration hazard," according to the recall notice on the website of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The recall was initiated because the bottles broke for some customers, causing a laceration. The prosecco was sold at Costco stores in a dozen states.
"F&F Fine Wines International, Inc. has received 10 reports of the bottles shattering or breaking, resulting in one laceration injury," the notice says.
About 941,400 bottles are affected, and the suggested remedy is a "refund," the notice says. "Costco stores in IA, IL, IN, KY, MI, MN, MO, ND, NE, OH, SD, and WI from April 2025 through August 2025 for about $8," the government advises.
The recall date was listed as November 6, 2025. The company is based in Miami, and the product is manufactured in Italy, according to the government's notice.
"This recall involves certain glass bottles of Kirkland Signature Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG," the government's recall notice says. "The UPC is 196633883742 and the Costco Item Number is 1879870. The product was sold in a green bottle with purple foil on the top and a purple label with the words 'Kirkland Signature Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG.'"
"Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bottles and not attempt to open them. Consumers should discard the recalled bottles in their household trash and contact Ethica Wines for instructions on how to obtain a full refund from Costco," the notice continues.
According to CBS News, customers are advised to put the bottle "in paper towels or a plastic bag before disposing of it."
Costco previously sent an alert to customers. That alert noted that the bottles were at risk of shattering even if they remained unopened.
