The issue is due to secondary fermentation continuing in the can after it leaves the production line, increasing the alcohol content and the pressure inside the can.

According to Food Standards Australia, beer that contains excess alcohol and carbonation may cause illness or injury if consumed.

Consumers should not drink or open these products, and should return the products to the place of purchase for a full refund.
