Range of pre-mix drinks pulled from Australian liquor stores in urgent recall

A range of pre-mixed gin and vodka drinks have been urgently recalled from bottle shops across Australia due to faulty packaging.

Ampersand Projects is recalling Pink Gin Soda, Vodka Soda and Vodka Soda Black because of a flaw in the 355ml bottles.

Food Standards Australia has warned that the packaging fault results in the lid popping off the bottle which may cause injury if opened.

“Consumers should not open or drink this product and dispose of it safely (away from body),” it said.

“Please contact Ampersand Projects for safe disposal instructions and to arrange reimbursement.”

The products have been sold at BWS, Dan Murphy’s and online nationally and independent retailers, liquor stores and licensed premises in Queensland, NSW, ACT, Victoria, Tasmania and Western Australia.

Bottles with the following markings are included in the recall:

• Pink Gin Soda – Batch LC14: BB: 05.08.23, Batch LC13: BB: 23.08.23 – 25.08.23, Batch LC18: BB: 01.09.23 – 03.09.23
• Vodka Soda – Batch LC11: BB: 14.08.23 – 16.08.23
• Vodka Soda Black – Batch LC12: BB: 10.08.23 – 13.08.23
