Costco is recalling bottles of Prosecco over concerns that the bottles may spontaneously shatter even if they are left alone.
Costco, in a warning letter, told consumers across a dozen states that the Kirkland Signature Prosecco Valdobbiadene is being recalled due to the risk of unopened bottles shattering.
The letter was sent to customers who purchased the product between April 25 and Aug. 26 in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota or Wisconsin.

"If you have an unopened bottle, do not open it. Dispose of the bottle immediately (do not return the item) by wrapping the unopened bottle in paper towels and placing it in a plastic bag before placing it in the garbage to avoid risk from shattered glass," Costco wrote in a note to customers.
The company also said the customers will be entitled to a full refund if they return the letter to their nearest Costco location.
