Why the Bottles Were Recalled
According to reports, the FDA classifies the recalls as "Class II" because the products may cause "temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote."
The bottles were sold at a number of major retailers, including Kroger, Walgreens, CVS, H-E-B, Rite Aid, Dollar General, Circle K, and Publix.
