Bradenton, FL - February 20, 2002 -- In the interest of consumer safety, Tropicana
Products, Inc. today announced a voluntary recall of 128 oz/gallon "super
size" Tropicana Pure Premium Calcium Orange Juice in a plastic bottle with
an expiration date of APR15 printed on the neck of the bottle. The recalled
product was sold only to Sam's Clubs. A limited number of bottles of this product
may contain a cleaning solution used in the production process. The presence
of this cleaning solution in the product could cause mouth and/or stomach distress.
The product has already been removed from the sales floor. Consumers should

the entire production run sold to Sam's Club. No other Tropicana products or
sizes are affected nor are other retailers.
