A retailer received a shipment of Certitude. The retailer noticed signs of leakage and took apart 12 pallets. There was a total of 11 cases where Certitude B jugs had leaked into the cardboard packaging. There was an additional 23 cases that had been leaked on during shipping, making a total of 34 cases affected. Within the co-pack, multiple Certitude B jugs were leaking due to a deformed neck and opening. The opening had an elliptical shape instead of a round shape. The cap seemed cross threaded and did not sit flush on the jug. The spillage was due to the product splashing out during shipping because the cap did not fit securely on the jug.
