The product, in the report: Sparkling water beverage in can.
A can of La Croix Sparking Water exploded with great force in our refrigerator. We heard a loud bang in the refrigerator. At first I thought the refrigerator motor had broken, but upon inspection, I found that the refrigerator was still working. Then I noticed there was a burst can of La Croix on the top shelf and its contents running all over. The burst can is extremely sharp. I reported this same issue in April 2023, and now see that another consumer had submitted a report about the identical problem back in 2020. The company has not responded to either of our complaints in your website. I tried to call the company, but a recorded message claims high all volume and asked for my name and number for a callback. Several days have elapsed, but no one from the company has called. I am disappointed that nothing has been done by La Croix during the span of five years to improve the strength and safety of its packaging, whether voluntarily or by government action.

The product, in the report: Sparkling water can One tangerine flavor, one coconut flavor.
Caller stated that sparkling water cans exploded in the refrigerator and the top seemed to have been cut in half. She stated that the cans froze as they were stored at the back of the refrigerator and the impact of the explosion knocked down other items that were in the unit. She feels that the materials that made the cans are too flimsy. Caller stated that she was away from home for a few days on her return she discovered the incident.
Caller is concerned that that these cans are unsafe and poses a safety hazard.
UPDATED ON 6/9/2023: [The attached photos should be associated with my written report which I will be shortly submitting by mail. They represent two cans of La Croix flavored sparking water that froze and exploded in the top shelf of the refrigerator (not freezer). They completely split open and discharged the contents into the refrigerator. The force knocked over other items on the shelf. The empty cans and lids are razor-sharp. I believe these cans pose a safety hazard and should be recalled and redesigned.
The same occurrence with exploding La Croix cans was previously reported to the CPSC by another consumer back in 2020, but obviously Shasta Beverages, Inc. has taken no action since to change the design and quality of their cans. When compared side-by-side with other beverage cans, the metal containing the La Croix beverages is noticeably thinner and has no reinforcement seams at either the top or the bottom.]

No one hurt Made Feb 25, 2020, sent to the company Apr 13, 2020, published by CPSC Apr 27, 2020
The product, in the report: La Croix - 12 ounce aluminum “soda can” containing lemon flavored sparkling water. Brand name is La Croix. Parent company is National Beverage, 26901 Industrial Blvd, Hayward, CA 94545
Last evening my wife and I heard what sounded like a gunshot in our kitchen. Upon investigating it was discovered a can of La Croix sparkling water had exploded inside the refrigerator. Literally exploded. Chucks of ice, most small but some rather large, were spread all over the inside of the refrigerator. The top of the can had separated from the can, and the can itself was split down the side. The top, the can and the bottom of the can showed significant swelling had occurred prior to the explosion.
Note that this happened inside the food portion of the refrigerator, not the freezer. No other product in the refrigerator, including 4 other cans of La Croix sparkling water, showed signs of freezing. The exploded can was on the top shelf, midway between front and back.
The can was the lemon flavored variety of the product. The bottom is ink-stamped with the following: 01/08/21 TK 02:18
There was no other apparent damage inside the refrigerator. While not certain, the remains show no sign of “shrapnel” separating from the can, i.e. all part of the can seem to be accounted for. The only effect was ice all over the inside of the refrigerator, which required cleanup.
Digital photos of the remains of the can were taken and can be provided. I will also retain the can’s remains for a reasonable period.
