New York City hot spot Socialista is sending out a warning to patrons, including celebs who attended Ashton Kutcher's birthday there on February 7th.

"In response to a case of Hepatitis A in a bartender at Socialista in Manhattan, the Health Department today notified patrons of the exposure and urged them to get a hepatitis A vaccination as a precautionary measure," the Health Department statement reads.

Any patron who visited the establishment after 8 p.m. on February 7th or 8th, or after 10 p.m. on February 11th (the times the infected person worked after becoming infectious), is considered to be at risk and needs a preventive shot. "
Ashton's birthday guest list included Kate Hudson, Madonna, Bruce Willis, Lucy Liu, Liv Tyler, Roberto Cavalli, Eric Dane and his wife Rebecca Gayheart.
