FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- October 9, 2003 --- As a precaution, Miller Brewing Company is issuing a voluntary product recall for 12-ounce cans of Sharp's non-alcohol brew sold in 12-packs in the Illinois counties of Bureau, DeKalb, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, LaSalle, Lee, Livingston, Marshall, Putnam, Woodford and far northwest Cook. Minnesota counties potentially affected include Aitkin, Cass, Crow Wing, Morrison and Todd. The recall covers no more than 850 12-packs of Sharp's non-alcohol brew in 12-ounce cans distributed after August 15, 2003.

Only product with the coding of 12083 A11988 on the bottom of the can may be affected. Because of a filling error, some of these Sharp's containers may contain alcohol. Miller, in cooperation with its distributors, is taking aggressive steps to retrieve the affected product from the market.

Miller Brewing Company urges any consumers who may have affected product to call 1-800-Miller-6 (1-800-645-5376) between the hours of noon and 9 p.m., Eastern, for further direction.

Again, this recall only affects Sharp's non-alcohol brew distributed in the Illinois counties of Bureau, DeKalb, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, LaSalle, Lee, Livingston, Marshall, Putnam, Woodford, and far Northwest Cook. Minnesota counties potentially affected are Aitkin, Cass, Crow Wing, Morrison and Todd. The recall covers no more than 850 12-packs of Sharp's non-alcohol brew in 12-ounce cans distributed after August 15, 2003.
