Recall Insight

This FDA Food action (record #F-0577-2017) was formally reported on December 14, 2016, with the manufacturer initiating the action on June 29, 2016. It is classified under Moderate severity (Class II), with a current status of Terminated. Eola Bottling Company Inc. is listed as the recalling firm, operating out of Gervais, OR. Federal records indicate 90 cases of the 24 pack and 228 cases of the 12 pack units are affected, placing this recall in the million-unit bracket that typically triggers nationwide consumer alerts and retailer sweeps.

The documented reason for this recall is: Eola Bottling Company is recalling one lot code of Oregon Rain bottled water due to mold. Distribution data in the federal record shows the product reached: Oregon and Washington. Distribution scope directly affects the consumer exposure window and determines whether a recall remains regional or escalates into a nationwide advisory.

To put this record in context, PlainRecalls indexes 83,949 recalls across the FDA, CPSC, NHTSA and USDA FSIS going back to 1995. Within the same product category, the database holds 6 closely related recalls. That clustering is a signal — repeated actions in a narrow category often indicate a systemic quality-control issue, a supplier-wide contamination, or a design defect that has propagated across product lines. This recall is roughly 10 years old; older recalls can remain relevant because many units enter resale, rental, and secondary-market channels where the original warning never reaches the end user. Always cross-check the recall number against the official agency page before relying on any summary.
