Coca-Cola Europacific Partners recalls Pump bottled water in Australia

Coca-Cola Europacific Partners Australia Pty Ltd has issued an urgent recall for five Pump brand bottled water products across Australia due to a packaging design flaw. The Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) agency has warned consumers not to use the affected items.

The recall is due to a risk of choking. A white drinking spout on the bottle cap may detach during use, posing a hazard if swallowed. The issue is related to the packaging structure rather than the quality of the water itself.

The recalled products include:

Natural spring water: Super Pump Spring Water (1.25L) and Pump Spring Water (750ml) with best before dates on or before 22 January 2028.

Flavoured water: Pump Watermelon Hit, Pump Berry Storm, and Pump Lime Rush (all 750ml) with best before dates up to 23 April 2027.

Consumers are advised to check the product name, volume, and best before date printed on the packaging to determine if their product is included in the recall.
