All Coca-Cola lovers in Illinois should be aware of a recent recall by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration .

The FDA issued a voluntary recall of 864 12-packs of Coca-Cola being sold in Illinois and Wisconsin earlier this month, classifying it as a Class II recall on March 24.

Here's what that means.

What is a Class II recall?



The FDA defines a Class II recall as "a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote."

This is the second most serious type of recall, just under a Class I recall, according to the administration.

Why is the Coca-Cola being recalled?



The more than 10,000 recalled cans, which were manufactured at Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling LLC in Milwaukee, were found to contain a foreign object: plastic.

A Coca-Cola spokesperson told USA TODAY , "The cases are being withdrawn because they did not meet our high-quality standards. We are taking this voluntary action because nothing is more important to us than providing high-quality products to the people who drink our beverages."
