FDA has warned consumers against drinking products from Juices Incorporated of Brooklyn, NY due to risk of Clostridium botulinum, a bacterium which can cause botulism. On October 7, 2010, US Department of Justice filed a complaint for permanent injunction against the owners after inspections revealed persistent violations of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act. A January 3, 2011 Consent Decree of Permanent Injunction required the owners to stop manufacturing and distributing any food items, including juice, until improving conditions in the facility.
