Urgent Recall: Carbonation Bottles Pulled After Reports of Bottles Exploding During Use

If you use a beverage maker to make fizzy drinks at home, check your bottles. Sparkling water and soda maker company Drinkmate has recalled approximately 106,200 of its branded carbonation bottles in the U.S. and Canada due to the risk of explosion during use, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

The recall involves certain 1-liter carbonation bottles that have a clear polyethylene terephthalate (PET) body, along with caps and bases in red, blue, white, and black plastic. The recalled bottles have expiration dates between 01/2026 and 10/2026, which are printed on the side of the bottle. Only bottles within this expiration date range are included in the recall. The bottles were sold individually and as part of some Drinkmate OmniFizz starter kits.

The affected bottles were sold online through major retailers, including Walmart, Amazon, Target, and Home Depot, as well as on iDrinkproducts.com, from April 2023 through October 2024 for about $20 individually or $130 as a kit.

Drinkmate has received eight reports of the bottles exploding while in use, including four reports resulting in lacerations, impact injuries, and hearing damage, per the CPSC report. The company also received a report of a bottle shattering during use, causing some bruises and property damage in Canada, according to Health Canada.

Soda makers like Drinkmate's work by injecting pressurized carbon dioxide (CO2) into water, creating carbonated water, which can then be flavored to make soda. The process involves attaching a bottle of water to the machine, then using a CO2 canister to introduce the gas into the water under pressure.

If you have one of these bottles, stop using it immediately and contact Drinkmate to receive a free replacement bottle. To receive the replacement, you will need to fill out a replacement form and upload a photo of the bottle permanently marked with the word "Recall" before properly disposing of it. Consumers will receive a code to order the free replacement bottle through Drinkmate’s website, shipping included.
