A popular water bottle is being recalled in Canada and the U.S. after reports of explosions causing injuries.
Health Canada announced Wednesday a joint recall with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (USCPSC) and i-Drink Products Inc. for Drinkmate’s 1L carbonation bottles. The bottles may explode from excess pressure during use, posing a risk of injuries and cuts to users and bystanders.
“As of August 1, 2025, the company has received one report in Canada of a bottle shattering during use, resulting in bruises and property damage, along with eight similar reports from the U.S.,” the health agency stated.
The recalled bottles were sold online in Canada between April 2023 and October 2024 on Amazon.ca, Shopify.ca, and Bestbuy.ca, and were also available in the U.S. and Australia during the same period.
About 5,000 units were sold online in Canada, while 101,582 were sold in the U.S. through iDrinkproducts.com, Walmart.com, Amazon.com, and Target.com, according to the recall notice.
The affected bottles have expiration dates between January 2026 and October 2026.
Recalled products include:
- Black 1L bottle, SKU: 001-02-1, UPC: 850003006598
- Blue 1L bottle, SKU: 001-08-1, UPC: 850003006994

- White 1L bottle, SKU: 001-01-1, UPC: 850003006970
The recall notice advised, “Immediately stop using the recalled products and dispose of them according to local waste regulations,” adding that customers can fill out a recall form to request replacement bottles.
Earlier, in June 2025, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) issued a recall alert for the 1L PET bottles used with Drinkmate’s OmniFizz carbonation system, warning that they could cause hearing damage and injuries.
“Incidents have occurred,” the ACCC stated in its alert.
