Coca-Cola advises consumers to stop using the affected products and return them to the place of purchase for a refund. The company has not issued a press release regarding the Coca-Cola recall, but the information has been disseminated via email notifications to consignees.

“Consumers who have this Coca-Cola product should discontinue use immediately and return it to the place of purchase or discard it,” the recall notice says.

Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages says it has not received any reports of illness or injury related to the recall so far. Coca-Cola is not currently facing legal action over the recall, but Top Class Actions follows recalls closely as they sometimes lead to class action lawsuits.

In ongoing litigation, Coca Cola has urged a California judge to dismiss a proposed class action alleging it falsely labeled Sprite and Fanta sodas as containing “100% natural flavors”.
