ALLENTOWN, PA — Niagara Bottling has issued a recall of its bottled water after one of its spring sources was contaminated with E. coli.
The company says customers shouldn’t drink the water without first bringing it to a rolling boil for at least one minute to kill the bacteria. E. coli can cause diarrhea, cramps, nausea and headaches, as well as other serious symptoms.
Thus far, there have been no reports of illness linked to the recall.
In a statement, Niagara says the contamination was discovered at a spring source on June 10, but the company wasn’t notified until recently. Niagara also says they stopped using the source.
