HARRISBURG, Pa., Aug. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board today alerted customers to a voluntary partial recall of 1800® Tequila 1.75 Liter Silver, Reposado and Coconut due to potential glass particles in the bottle.

Customers are encouraged to check to see if they have affected product by comparing the first nine digits of the 13-digit Lot Code on the side of the bottle against the list of impacted product codes.
