LITTLE ROCK — The Arkansas Health Department says a Little Rock company has voluntarily recalled a batch of bottled water tainted with mold.
The agency said Wednesday the bottles recalled by Mountain Pure Water Co. are etched with legends bearing a date by which they should be consumed. The Health Department said the batch involved in the recall is labeled "Best By 2-27-2013 MPWA" or "Best By 2-28-2013 MPWA."
The Health Department said the contamination showed up in testing of some bottles shipped to Clinton after that city's water system failed last week.
Dr. William L. Mason, the agency's branch chief for preparedness and emergency response, said it was unlikely that a healthy person would get sick from drinking the water, but people with a weakened immune system might be at higher risk.
