It is classified under Moderate severity (Class II), with a current status of Terminated. Coca-Cola Company (The) is listed as the recalling firm, operating out of Atlanta, GA. Federal records indicate 30,390 units (32oz) and 158,880 units (15.2oz) total units are affected, placing this recall in the million-unit bracket that typically triggers nationwide consumer alerts and retailer sweeps.

The documented reason for this recall is: There is the potential that some of the bottles could exhibit spoilage before end of shelf life. Distribution data in the federal record shows the product reached: U.S. Nationwide. Distribution scope directly affects the consumer exposure window and determines whether a recall remains regional or escalates into a nationwide advisory.

To put this record in context, PlainRecalls indexes 83,949 recalls across the FDA, CPSC, NHTSA and USDA FSIS going back to 1995. Within the same product category, the database holds 6 closely related recalls. That clustering is a signal — repeated actions in a narrow category often indicate a systemic quality-control issue, a supplier-wide contamination, or a design defect that has propagated across product lines. This recall is roughly 12 years old; older recalls can remain relevant because many units enter resale, rental, and secondary-market channels where the original warning never reaches the end user. Always cross-check the recall number against the official agency page before relying on any summary.
