Statement Re: Robinsons Fruit Shoot and Fruit Shoot Hydro Product Recall
3rd July 2012
Britvic today announces that it has commenced a precautionary recall of all Robinsons Fruit Shoot and Fruit Shoot Hydro packs, featuring the new design cap, due to a potential packaging safety issue.
This recall does not affect Fruit Shoot in the US, Australia or Republic of Ireland.
Fruit Shoot My-5 is not being recalled. No other Robinsons products are affected.
As part of our ongoing testing and analysis, we identified an issue with a small number of damaged caps which may become fully or partially detached.
Britvic is quickly working to resolve the packaging issue so that normal production can be resumed. The company will provide further updates as necessary.
The potential financial impact of the recall is being analysed, but at this very early stage it is anticipated that there will be a limited cost estimated at between £1m and £5m to profit before tax in the current financial year.
