TORONTO–Some bottles of vodka are being recalled in Ontario because the alcohol content is about double what it should be.
The Liquor Control Board of Ontario says labels on one batch of Georgian Bay Vodka shows 40 percent alcohol by volume, but the alcohol content actually is 81 percent.
The board noted an alcohol level of 81 percent is “not safe for consumption” and could cause serious illness.
The provincial agency said the batch of 654 bottles have been removed from LCBO shelves.
But any customers and licensees who have bottles from the affected batch should return them for a full refund.
