Cola Bottle Standards Aim to Reduce Explosions
Growing injuries from exploding carbonated soft drink bottles push bottlers and manufacturers to adopt voluntary standards. The Glass Packaging Institute, National Soft Drinks Association, and National Bureau of Standards set limits on bottle wall strength and temperature shocks. Returnable bottles are thicker but can crack with reuse. Consumers are advised to store bottles cool, place on floors, avoid jostling, and point caps away when opening. The CPSC maintains a toll free line for incidents.
