Plastic in Your Soda? Coca-Cola Issues Urgent Recall!

Plastic in Your Soda? Coca-Cola Issues Urgent Recall!

If you’ve recently purchased a 12-pack of Coca-Cola, you may want to check your cans. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a recall for 864 cases of Coca-Cola sold in two states earlier this month. On Monday, the agency classified this as a Class II recall, indicating a moderate health risk.

Why Was the Recall Issued?

The recall affects more than 10,000 cans of Coca-Cola due to potential contamination with small pieces of plastic. While the exact source of the plastic hasn’t been disclosed, such foreign material could pose a choking hazard or cause minor injuries if ingested.

The FDA defines a Class II recall as a situation where exposure to the product might lead to temporary or medically reversible health effects, or where the chance of serious harm is low. In this case, no injuries or illnesses have been reported so far, but the company is taking precautionary measures.

Which Products Are Affected?

• Product: 12-pack cans of Coca-Cola (exact flavor not specified in initial reports)
• Quantity Recalled: 864 cases (each containing 12 cans, totaling 10,368 cans)
• Distribution: Sold in two U.S. states (specific locations not yet confirmed)

What Should Consumers Do?

If you have a recalled product:

• Check the packaging for any manufacturing codes or dates mentioned in the recall notice.
• Do not consume any cans that appear damaged or contain foreign material.
• Contact Coca-Cola’s customer service or the retailer where the product was purchased for a refund or replacement.

Has Coca-Cola Responded?

As of now, The Coca-Cola Company has not released an official statement beyond cooperating with the FDA’s recall process. The company likely initiated the recall voluntarily after discovering the issue during quality control checks.

Previous Similar Recalls

This isn’t the first time a beverage recall has happened due to foreign object contamination. In recent years, other soda brands have faced recalls for issues like metal fragments, mold, or cleaning chemicals in products. However, such cases are relatively rare, and recalls are typically issued as a safety precaution.

Final Advice

While the risk is considered low, consumers should stay informed and check their purchases if they bought Coca-Cola 12-packs in the affected states. For updates, you can monitor the FDA’s recall announcements or Coca-Cola’s official communications.
