The Coca-Cola Company recalled multiple canned soft drink products because the pull-tab mechanism could open upward with a loud pop instead of functioning normally. While the defect does not affect product safety, the unexpected loud noise could startle consumers.
Class II — Eating this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; serious harm is unlikely.

In a small percentage of the cans, when opened, the oval covering for the hole, which normally is pushed down into the can, instead opens upward. This produces a loud "pop" sound. Recall initiated on 4/29/16.
