• A recall of more than 10,000 Coca-Cola cans was given a 'Class II' risk level by the FDA.
• The cans were initially recalled over contamination with a foreign object.

On Monday, the Food and Drug Administration gave the second highest risk level to a recall of Coca-Cola cans.

On March 6, the company initially recalled more than 10,000 cans of Coca-Cola sold in two states due to foreign object contamination.

This week, the FDA set the risk level for the recall at class 2, which means that drinking the affected Coca-Cola "may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences," or that the possibility of serious health consequences is "remote."

Why Were the Coca-Cola Cans Recalled?

According to the FDA, the Coca-Cola cans were recalled due to contamination of a foreign object: plastic.

Foreign objects typically enter foods and drinks at some point in the production process and can pose a safety risk if consumed. The FDA report did not mention any injuries in connection to the recalled Coca-Cola.

What To Do If You Have the Recalled Coca-Cola Cans

The FDA report did not include specific instructions for consumers. If you'd like to err on the side of caution, consider disposing the Coca-Cola or returning it to the store.
