Martinelli's is voluntarily recalling 10-ounce apple juice glass bottles because they may be potentially contaminated with patulin, a toxic substance.
The recall was first initiated in March, and the Food and Drug Administration classified it as a Class II recall on April 22.
According to the FDA, a Class II recall designation indicates that use of a recalled product could cause "temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences," but the risk of serious health consequences "is remote."
Patulin is a colorless toxin that is produced by some molds, and according to the FDA, it can grow on fruits such as apples, cheese and grains.
The FDA notes that drinking patulin-contaminated apple juice could cause symptoms such as "nausea, vomiting, and possibly damage the DNA in some body cells."
