Energy banks containing alcohol called off in mass U.S. recall
High Noon, a US-based company established in 2019, has initiated a recall of select 12-pack Beach Variety packs of its vodka seltzer due to a packaging error. Some cans, mistakenly labeled as Celsius Astro Vibe energy drinks, were filled with High Noon vodka seltzer alcohol[1][2][3].
The affected packs were shipped between July 21 and July 23, 2025, to retailers in Florida, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin (with some additional states in the distributor shipment)[1][2][3]. The recalled cans are labeled as Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz Edition energy drink with a silver lid but actually contain alcoholic seltzer.
Consumers are advised not to consume the liquid in these cans and to dispose of any affected product. High Noon stated no illnesses or adverse events have been reported so far[1][2][3]. Consumers can contact High Noon for refund information via [email protected][2][3].
This recall is a result of a packaging supplier error where empty Celsius cans were shipped to High Noon and then misfilled with alcohol[1][2][3].
Meanwhile, a separate incident involving children's unconsciousness was reported in Almaty, not in any of the aforementioned states. While the incident does not involve an energy drink, it might be related to alcohol consumption, as High Noon produces alcoholic beverages. However, no connection has been established between the energy drink issue and the incident in Almaty[1][2][3].
