Sodastream said it had not received any reports of injuries related to the defective bottles, but had urged customers to return them for a refund.

A statement from the US Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) said, “The bottles can burst under pressure, posing an injury hazard to the user and bystanders.”
Only bottles with the 4/2020 expiry date, blue-tinted, blue plastic cap and bottom, one-litre bottles marked dishwasher safe, are included in the warning and the CPSC urges consumers to return the bottles and receive a refund.
The bottles were sold in shops and online between February 2016 and January 2017.
