Overview

  • The voluntary recall, initiated in November 2025, remains active as regulators investigate reports of a floating black substance inside some containers.
  • Affected jugs are one-gallon bottles with red caps marked best-by October 4, 2026, lot code 39-222 #3, UPC 041250841197, Product ID 472859, and Item Code 477910.
  • The recalled Meijer Steam Distilled Water was distributed in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin, totaling 38,043 gallons.
  • No illnesses or injuries have been reported, and customers are advised to return the product to Meijer or dispose of it for a refund or replacement.
  • Because distilled water is used in CPAP machines, humidifiers, sinus rinses, and some infant care, officials urge extra caution while the recall remains unclassified.
