Costco Grapevine Recall in Santa Clara | Oakland News

A major recall is underway for grapevine plants sold at Costco in Northern California between April 21 and May 19—potentially carrying the glassy-winged sharpshooter, a pest that spreads deadly diseases to grapevines and other crops like citrus and almonds. Santa Clara County, vital to California’s wine and fruit industry, is sounding the alarm: if unchecked, the bug could devastate local agriculture and halt plant shipments. About 1,300 plants were sold, but over 1,100 are unaccounted for. Officials warn against moving, composting, or discarding the plants—doing so could spread the threat. Starting this week, county workers are knocking on doors to help residents safely bag and surrender their plants for pickup. If you bought one, check the county website and contact your local Costco for a refund. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
