Over 650,000 bottles of water are currently subject to a Class II recall initiated by Valley Springs Artesian Gold, LLC. The recall, affecting products distributed in Illinois and Wisconsin, was prompted by the discovery that the water was bottled under insanitary conditions.

The FDA assigned a Class II classification on February 26, 2026, indicating a probability of temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. The recall, encompassing multiple product lines including Valley Springs 100% Natural Bottled Water and Steamed Distilled Water, was voluntarily initiated by the Wisconsin-based firm on February 6, 2026. The recall status is ongoing, with no termination date specified.
