The Canadian government issued a joint recall notice with the US government on Wednesday (August 13, 2025), asking people to immediately stop using a popular water bottle in both countries. The bottles were recalled following reports of injuries suffered from the bottles exploding. The recall notice also stated that approximately 5,000 affected bottles were sold online in Canada, while 101,582 units were sold in the U.S. online through iDrinkproducts.com, Walmart.com, Amazon.com, and Target.com, the recall notice said.

In a joint recall, Health Canada, along with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (USCPSC) and i-Drink Products Inc., is recalling Drinkmate’s 1L carbonation bottles, which could potentially explode from extra pressure while being used, resulting in injuries and lacerations to users and bystanders.

“As of Aug. 1, 2025, the company has received one report of a bottle shattered during use, causing some bruises and property damage in Canada, and eight similar reports of injuries and property damage in the United States,” the health agency’s notice said.


The affected products following the bottle recall include the following:

Black 1L bottle, SKU: 001-02-1, UPC: 850003006598
Blue 1L bottle , SKU: 001-08-1, UPC: 850003006994

“Immediately stop using the recalled products and dispose of them in accordance with local waste requirements,” the recall said. It further stated that customers can also complete a recall form to request replacement bottles. The products that have come under the scanner following the recall were sold online in Canada between April 2023 and October 2024 on Amazon.ca, Shopify.ca, and Bestbuy.ca, the recall said. During the same period, the bottles were also sold in the U.S. and Australia during that time.

The recall notice also stated that approximately 5,000 affected bottles were sold online in Canada, while 101,582 units were sold in the U.S. online through iDrinkproducts.com, Walmart.com, Amazon.com, and Target.com, the recall notice said. According to Health Canada, the affected bottles have an expiration date range of between January 2026 and October 2026.

Meanwhile, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) had announced an earlier recall alert in June 2025, which cited the 1L PET bottles used with Drinkmate’s OmniFizz to carbonate drinks for potentially causing hearing damage and injuries. “Incidents have occurred,” the ACCC’s recall alert said.
