Angry Orchard has recalled some cases, 12-packs and six-packs of Angry Orchard Crisp Apple Hard Cider after receiving reports of broken bottles or bottles that overflowed when opened, the Food and Drug Administration reports.
The recall is limited to two batches of the alcoholic beverage made on June 15 and June 29, 2015.
To find out if your bottles are part of the recall, look at the case or 12-pack for the "freshness matters" code printed on the box. If it starts with June 2016 1665C and is immediately followed by four digits between 0001 and 0700, the bottles might be showing signs of re-fermentation. Cases and 12-packs with the code June 2016 1805C, followed by four digits between 0001 through 0545 are also affected.
On a bottle, look for a code printed on the glass below the neck label with a code between C16650001 through C16650530 or C18050001 through C18050415.
No one has been injured. If you find one of the codes, the company says it should be disposed of immediately in an outside container.
