Coca-Cola recalls thousands of soda cans

Coca-Cola has issued a recall affecting over 70,000 cans of its popular beverages, including Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, and Sprite, after the discovery of foreign matter contamination, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The contamination involves metal fragments, which pose a potential risk of laceration or illness.

The affected products were distributed in Texas, but the recall could expand to other regions.

The recall applies to specific 12-, 24-, and 35-pack varieties of soda.

Here are the products and codes consumers should check:

FDA classifies recall as Class II
