Prosecco is supposed to go out with a celebratory bang — but not like this.
More than 900,000 bottles of Kirkland Signature Prosecco have been urgently recalled.
Officials warned that unopened bottles can spontaneously explode, spraying glass and wine without warning.
The recall, issued by F&F Fine Wines International, comes after at least ten reports of bottles shattering on their own.
One customer has already been injured by flying shards, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The affected wine — sold in green glass with purple foil — retailed for about eight dollars across a dozen Midwestern states between April and August 2025. The barcode is 196633883742 and the Costco item number is 1879870.
Costco first warned customers in a September letter, telling them not to open or return the bottles to stores. Now a formal recall has been issued.
Shoppers should wrap the unopened bottle in paper towels, seal it in a plastic bag, and throw it in the trash to avoid injuries from exploding glass.
