Costco Wholesale Corp. has initiated a widespread recall of its Kirkland Signature Prosecco Valdobbiadene, advising customers that the 750-milliliter bottles could unexpectedly shatter. The retailer is requesting consumers in a dozen states to dispose of their bottles immediately without opening them, NBC Chicago reported. The recall impacts purchases made between April 25, 2025, and August 26, 2025, with item number 1879870 across several Midwestern Costco locations.

Costco is advising members not to return the bottles to any store locations, but rather, wrap them in paper towels, followed by a plastic bag, before discarding them to avoid any potential injuries from shattered glass. Affected states include Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. Members who received a recall notice from the retailer are entitled to a full refund for the potentially defective Prosecco bottles, Newsweek detailed.

The recall stresses the seriousness of the potential shattering hazard posed by the unopened bottles. Kirkland Signature, Costco's private label brand known for its value and consistency across a vast array of products, appears to be facing a rare setback with this recent recall. Earlier this year, other Kirkland Signature products such as Severe Cold & Flu Plus Congestion medication and the Dubai Style Chocolate have also been recalled for different quality concerns.
