A lager available at major UK retailers including Tesco has been pulled from shelves due to a potential safety hazard.
Cans of Lucky Saint Hazy IPA have been subject to a recall following concerns that certain units may develop excessive internal pressure, which could result in bursting.
The impacted items are packaged in multipacks containing four 330ml cans.
The affected batch carries a best before date of August 2027.
The Food Standards Agency confirmed that Lucky Saint is removing the specified product from circulation.
Retailers selling this particular lager have been instructed to display point of sale notifications informing customers about the reason for the recall and providing instructions on how to proceed.
Customers who have purchased the product have been advised against consuming it.
Instead, they should adhere to the guidance outlined in the point of sale notice.
The product should not be returned to the shop where it was purchased.
A representative from Lucky Saint stated that some cans may develop over-pressurisation, which could cause swelling, leakage or sudden rupture, creating a potential for physical injury.
Purchasers should verify whether they possess any units from the affected batch bearing the August 2027 best before date.
Evidence of purchase should be presented to obtain a complete refund.
The product requires safe disposal rather than being returned to retail locations.
For safe disposal, the cans should be handled minimally, positioned upright and placed inside a sealed bag before being discarded alongside regular household waste.
The company expressed regret for any disruption caused to consumers.
