Coca-Cola recalls 12 and 16-ounce cans that make a loud pop when opened due to a defect in the can's seal. Affected products include specific UPC codes and date codes from April 2016.
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.
Coca-Cola is recalling certain 12-ounce and 16-ounce canned beverages because a small percentage of the cans can make a loud pop sound when opened. This happens due to a defect in the can's seal that causes the oval covering to open upward instead of downward. The recall was initiated on April 29, 2016.
The defect causes the oval covering on the can to open upward instead of downward when the can is opened. This produces a loud pop sound but does not cause injury or damage to the product.
Owners of the recalled Coca-Cola cans with specific UPC codes and date codes from April 2016 are affected. The risk is low as the defect only causes a loud pop sound and does not pose a physical hazard.
