A bottled water recall has been initiated. Those of these brands may contain bacteria or even microplastics.
Water bottle recall: avoid this brand at all costs
Product recalls follow one another in recent weeks. Indeed, following a few slimming herbal teas, bottles of water are recalled. Two references in particular are concerned: the 1.5 L bottle of the Claudia brand and the 0.5 L sparkling natural mineral water of the Claudia brand.
So, avoid at all costs drinking the water contained in these bottles because it presents a risk of contamination with Staphylococcus aureus. This is quite a dangerous bacteria that can cause infections if not treated as soon as possible. Fortunately, simple antibiotics can do the trick. However, this water bottle recall is just one of many. Lately, many brands are accused of containing plastic.
Recall of water bottles: these brands that contain plastic
The Agir pour l’Environnement association had already pointed out several brands of water bottles that might contain traces of microplastics. Among them, those of the Carrefour, Volvic, Perrier, Evian, Vittel and Badoit brands. One thing is certain, the federation is outraged by these brands that endanger consumers.
In effect, microplastics can be endocrine disruptors, both toxic and even carcinogenic. Also, keep a close eye on the Rappel Conso site to keep abreast of the next water bottle recall. Thus, we would reduce the risk of exposing children to this particle.
The right things to do
One thing is certain, plastic bottles can be harmful to health. And this, even when we try to reuse them to avoid waste. In effect, once the bottle is opened, bacteria begin to grow inside. In addition, we do not always have the reflex to clean them before reusing them. Worse still, putting hot water or orange juice in these plastic bottles considerably promotes the proliferation of these bacteria.
Also, the best thing to do is to clean the bottles before and following use. However, with the number of water bottle recalls growing, it is better to use insulated stainless steel bottles. Thus, you will be safe from all forms of bacterial infection.
