The store said two customers reported bottles exploding and there have been six unexplained incidents of bottles falling from shelves.

The bottles are unstable because there was apparently a problem with the pressurization process.

The affected bottles bear the batch numbers L1402606, L1403271, L1403503, L1403655 and L1404044.
