A high-end fizzy drink brand, Dalston Soda Company, has initiated a recall of its pineapple soda. This action is prompted by fears that cans of this particular flavor may rupture unexpectedly, posing a risk of injury. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) issued the recall notice on Friday.

The recall covers single cans with batch code 037130 and four-can multipacks with batch code 037129. Both share a best before date of August 4, 2027. Dalston Soda Company assures that no other products are affected by this recall.
Customers are advised to handle the affected cans minimally, place them upright in a sealed bag, and dispose of them with household waste. They should not return the cans to stores but can obtain a full refund by contacting the company directly, even without a receipt.
