Powerade beverages are being voluntarily recalled for possible foreign material contamination in the form of stainless steel rings. This poses a mouth injury and choking hazard. Because this recall notice was posted on the FDA’s Enforcement Report page instead of the regular recall page, there is no information about whether or not any injuries have been reported to the company to date. The recalling firm is The Coca-Cola Company of Auburndale, Florida.
