Don't Drink the Tequila! (At least three brands!)
An urgent request by the state to alert residents about recall of some "1800 Tequila" brands.
This unusual email arrived in many inboxes this afternoon from the state Department of Consumer Protection.
Dear editors,
Because of the volume of bottles potentially affected, and the potential for injury, I’ve been asked to reach out to you once again to ask if you can find space for this notification.

- 1800 Tequila Coconut 1.75 liter
- 1800 Tequila Silver 1.75 liter
- 1800 Tequila Reposado 1.75 liter
Consumers who have affected product should NOT consume it nor allow others to consume it.
Consumers with bottles subject to the recall may call the company at 866-795-8805 or emailinfo@1800tequila.com for more information or to seek a refund. The company states that refunds will be issued in approximately 2 to 4 weeks.
The companies announced the voluntary recall after learning of potential damage to the bottles’ glass stoppers during transportation and handling. While there have been no reports of consumer injuries, the potential of small particles of glass in the bottle could pose a health and safety risk.
This recall is limited to the 1.75 liter sizes of 1800 Tequila Coconut, 1800 Tequila Silver and 1800 Tequila Reposado All other sizes (50ml, 200ml, 375ml, 750ml and 1 liter) are not affected and not subject to recall.
