Nearly 2,000 cases of Coca-Cola products were recently recalled. 

The risk of "potential foreign material" led to the recall of the 12-pack cases of 12-ounce Diet Coke, Fanta Orange and Sprite cans, an enforcement report published by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said.

Alabama-based United Packers, LLC recalled the soft drinks Nov. 6, the report showed.

It was reported earlier on Wednesday by NBC News.
