Iced tea recall affects 1.5 million bottles that may contain glass fragments

The Sweet Leaf Tea Company has issued a nationwide voluntary recall of six flavors of iced tea sold in 16-ounce glass bottles.

The recall has been issued due to possible glass contamination after the company received four complaints of glass present in the product. The contamination is a result of breakage during the filling process. No injuries have been reported at this time, but potential injury could occur if ingested.
