FDA Downgrades Recall of 1.9 Million Fiji Water Bottles
The recall, originally initiated over concerns of manganese and bacterial contamination, is now classified as 'not likely to cause adverse health consequences.'
- The recall began in March due to elevated manganese levels and bacterial presence in bottles sold on Amazon.
- Manganese is essential but can cause health issues in high concentrations, including neurological problems.
- The FDA's new classification indicates the water is unlikely to pose health risks.
- Fiji Water maintains that the affected lots are safe for consumption despite discoloration complaints.
- Customers with affected bottles can contact Fiji Water for refunds and disposal instructions.
