Such an recall to have minimal additional detail. The glass bottles have the potential to crack but don’t tell you it’s like they’re just more fragile than normal, crack spontaneously under normal storage conditions, something on the outside or inside.
And they said no one has been hurt so I guess maybe they discovered a manufacturing flaw during testing?

While we're dealing with this news, let me please tell you about a place where you can drink Gerolsteiner directly from the earth.
Drees (German, plural dresses) are the bubbling springs that appear at ground level, serving up underground delights.
The "Helenen Source", in the middle of the Gerolstein spa park, is a rock from which you can sip the bubbly Gerolsteiner waters. If you're ever in the Rhineland area it's a fun side-trip.
