Walmart has recalled nearly 10,000 cases of apple juice sold in stores across the US that were found to contain potentially harmful levels of inorganic arsenic.

The US Food and Drug Administration up thrusted the recall by advancing it to a more urgent classification last Friday after making its original announcement on August 15. The new classification noted that exposure to the affected product may lead to temporary adverse health consequences. Though it is also not likely to cause serious or irreversible medical issues.

The recall applies to 9,535 cases of Great Value brand apple juice sold in 25 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. Florida-based manufacturer Refresco Beverages US voluntarily recalled the contaminated six-packs of 8-ounce juice bottles after discovering levels of the chemical contaminant that exceeded industry standards.
