Your SodaStream bottle that turns plain water into carbonated water may have more in common with the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 than you think: they’re both at risk of exploding.

On Tuesday, the company issued a voluntary recall for 51,000 bottles. The reason behind the recall is that the brand’s one-liter blue carbonating bottles are a risk, as they “burst under pressure, posing an injury hazard to the user or bystanders.”

There are no reported cases of injuries related to the faulty bottles.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s report, the recall is exclusively for bottles retailing in the United States that have a blue lid and an expiration date of “4/2020” on its warning label. Roughly 7,100 faulty pieces were also sold in Canada.
