“As one of the largest Coca-Cola bottlers in the United States, we make, market, and distribute bottled beverages to over 31 million people across the Southwest,” the company’s site reads.

The recall notice from the FDA says the recall itself is ongoing and was initiated voluntary by CCSB.

In terms of severity, the recall is currently Class II.

A Class II recall means the product could cause a temporary or reversible adverse health consequence, according to the FDA.

The notice says that 4,228 units of the 35-pack and 12-pack can cases are included in the recall, meaning thousands of cans of soda could have metal inside.
