Select Packs Of Corona Extra Beer May Contain Small Glass Particles
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Before you crack open an ice cold beer, check the label - there's a nationwide recall that you should know about.
On Thursday, Constellation Brands Beer Division announced a limited amount of Corona Extra 12-packs and 18-packs that have U.S. deposit labels are being voluntarily recalled.
According to the company, some of the bottles "may contain small particles of glass." Around 5,000 bottles have been affected.
Corona Extra drinkers can check to see if their bottles are being recalled by looking for eight-digit alphanumeric codes that are printed on the side of the cardboard boxes and on the necks of the 12-ounce bottles.
According to Corona, if the last digit of the product code on 12-packs is not a 4, the bottles are not affected by the recall. If the last digit of the product code on 18-packs is not an 8, the bottles are also unaffected.

Customers should not drink the affected beer and should dispose of the bottles immediately.
