City, State More than 2.3 million Ricky Joy Sour Crush candy bottles are being recalled after the rolling ball on the bottle can detach, creating a choking hazard that could cause serious injury or death. The recall was announced Sept. 10, 2026.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the affected candy bottles should no longer be used because the rolling ball may come loose. The notice did not identify specific retailers, lot numbers, UPC codes or a recalling firm beyond the Ricky Joy product name.
Consumers who have the recalled Sour Crush bottles should stop using them and contact the manufacturer for information about obtaining a refund or replacement. Parents and caregivers should keep the products away from children, particularly because detached parts can pose a serious choking risk.
The recall affects consumers who purchased the candy bottles, although the available notice did not provide sales dates, distribution locations or additional identifying details. Consumers should check the product and compare it with information in the official recall notice before seeking a remedy.
