[/floatr]AFP: Japanese firm recalls eight million US bottles of water
A Japanese company said Monday it would recall about eight million bottles of Crystal Geyser spring water imported from California after customers complained about its smell. Otsuka Beverage said it had received around 75 consumer complaints about the water in October. "We have decided to recall certain lots of bottles since we received an unusually high number of complaints in October," said a company spokesman. The company's testing of the affected products indicated no problem, he added. "It is possible that smells can be transferred to bottled water while being stored in warehouses during the summer," he said...Water sold outside Japan was not affected, the firm said...Kirin Beverage Corp. recalled Volvic brand water from France in October following customer complaints about strange smells.
