One person has died after drinking from the champagne bottle.

Health authorities in the Netherlands and Germany have issued an urgent recall on bottles of Moet & Chandon Ice Imperial over concerns that some of the bottles have been laced with ecstasy. One man, Harold Georg Z, passed away after drinking the champagne at a restaurant in Germany last month. Eight others were hospitalised after drinking from the same bottle. Now, as the NL Times reports, four others were left unwell after consuming a bottle of Moet & Chandon Ice Imperial that is suspected to have been laced with MDMA in the Netherlands. The bottles in question have the lot number LAJ7QAB6780004. A warning from the Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority said: "Touching and/or drinking the contents of the bottles is life-threatening. This has led to seven very serious illnesses and one death in Germany." They added: "It is not known how the MDMA ended up in these bottles." The affected bottles were bought through a currently unknown website. The Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain also issued a statement, saying: "According to the current investigation, the affected bottles have the lot number LAJ7QAB6780004. This number is on the label on the back of the bottle. "The bottles have a coating, it is not possible to distinguish the bottles filled with MDMA from bottles filled with champagne. However, when pouring, there is a clear difference. "Champagne with liquid MDMA is said to have the following characteristics: This one is not fizzing, this one would have a reddish brown colour which darkens over time, this one would have a different scent." They added: "Even tasting the liquid, even without swallowing, can lead to serious health problems. If you have swallowed the liquid, call the poison control centre immediately."
