WASHINGTON, D.C.—The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall today of the new Fontaines D.C. Rosalía collab, titled "Where Is Gone?" due to severe phonetic hazards. Regulators identified a critical risk of acute vocal dissonance. The track blends post-punk Dublin drawls with Spanish avant-pop cadences. This combination creates an unstable acoustic environment for untrained ears.

Severe Accent Clash Risks

The federal agency issued the warning after three listeners in Boston suffered localized brain sprains. The consumers tried to mimic both vocalists simultaneously. "We observed a dangerous spike in tongue twisting," said Dr. Helene Vasquez-Thorne, Lead Researcher at the Center for Studies That Confirm What You Already Suspected. "The transition from Grian Chatten's flat Irish vowels to Rosalía's breathy Iberian trills caused immediate jaw lock in test subjects."

The affected units include all digital streams of the XL Recordings single. Physical vinyl pressings also contain the defect. The commission advises all citizens to cease playing the Fontaines D.C. Rosalía collab immediately. Streaming platforms have received orders to quarantine the track in silent playlists.

Official Remedy And Refund Procedures

Government officials have outlined a strict remediation process for affected music fans. "Listeners must immediately delete the file from their caches," stated Marcus Bellweather, the commission’s Deputy Director of Auditory Hazard Mitigation. "We are offering a replacement download of a neutral, monolingual indie rock song to restore inner ear equilibrium."

To qualify for the remedy, consumers must submit proof of purchase or a screenshot of their Spotify history. At press time, regulators warned that playing the Fontaines D.C. Rosalía collab near a cold Guinness could cause the beverage to spontaneously carbonate and shatter the glass.
