The concern arises solely from a defect in the bottle’s durability that was discovered during routine inspections at Primal Kitchen’s warehouse where leaking oil was noticed in shipping containers. To date, no injuries or illnesses related to the recalled oil have been reported, FDA said in the release. Consumers who have purchased these bottles are urged to immediately dispose of them and contact Primal Kitchen for further guidance.
