Monday, September 29, 2003
PITTSBURGH — CCDA Waters LLC has recalled 3.2 million containers of bottled water with push-pull sports cap in 8 oz., 8.5 oz. and .33 liter bottle sizes, the Post-Gazette reported.

When pulled to open, the drinking spout on the sports cap can unexpectedly come off, posing a choking hazard for young children, the article said.

Bottled water with the affected push-pull sports caps was sold under the brand names Dannon Fluoride to Go, Pure American, Enon Springs, Alhambra Junior Sport Drinking Water and Sparkletts Junior Sport Drinking Water. The bottled water was sold as singles and multipacks in 8-oz., 8.5-oz, and .33-liter sizes.

The bottled water with this sports cap was sold at retail outlets including gas stations, grocery, convenience, mass merchandise and drugstores from March 2002 through September 2003, for between 59 cents for a single bottle and $3.29 for multipacks, the paper reported.
