If you’re a fan of Minute Maid juice, this latest recall is for you. Earlier this week, the Coca-Cola Company announced a recall for certain juice products over concerns they may be contaminated with metal washers and bolts. 

The juice products were shipped to retailers throughout Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New York, North Carolina, Maryland, Virginia, Maine, and New Jersey. At the moment, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is concerned that consumers may have the recalled products in their homes. If you have any of the affected juice, you should either throw it away or return it for a refund. The recalled products include the following:
