Several major stores are participating in a voluntary recall of bottled water over fears that the water may contain the dangerous E. coli bacteria. The water was bottled by Niagara Bottling in Pennsylvania and bear a code beginning with the letter A or F.
The recall was prompted when a spring used by the company showed evidence of E. coli contamination. E. coli resides in the intestines of healthy people and animals, but if it is introduced to the body elsewhere, it can cause severe cramping, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting.
