The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has announced a recall of three popular Coca-Cola sodas after concerns that some cans may contain metal fragments. The recall, classified as Class II, affects thousands of cans sold in Texas and was initiated by Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages earlier this month
The products under recall include Coca-Cola Original Taste, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and Sprite. According to the FDA, the contamination could cause temporary or medically reversible health issues, though the likelihood of severe harm is considered remote.
According to Today, more than 4,000 cans are involved, and each can be identified by specific lot codes printed on the packaging. Consumers who purchased these sodas are advised not to drink them and either dispose of the cans or return them to the retailer for a refund. No other Coca-Cola products are affected.
