DETROIT (WWJ) - The makers of '1800 Tequila' have announced a voluntary recall of several brands of liquor.

The recall affects the 1.75 liter size only of Silver, Reposado and Coconut. The Michigan Liquor Control Commission says the glass stopper and other packaging of the tequila may have been damaged.

"We have become aware of this recall and are doing everything we can to make sure these bottles have been taken off the market," said Andy Deloney, Chairman of the MLCC.
