If you recently bought Coca-Cola products, check the labeling. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a recall of three popular Coca-Cola sodas due to possible metal contamination.
The affected sodas were made by Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages, LLC, based in Dallas, Texas, and include certain cans of Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Coca-Cola, and Sprite. These sodas were only sold in Texas, and the recall is classified as a Class II threat, which means that consuming the products "may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences," according to the FDA.
