Description
Foreign matter occasionally found, or allegedly found, in bottles of Coca-Cola is a perpetual provoker of legal controversy. The nature of the foreign or deleterious material allegedly ingested by consumers has ranged from the expectable to the totally unpredictable. Thus, despite the investment of large sums of money, manpower, and scientific expertise, the manufacturers of this carbonated beverage apparently have as yet been unable to develop a bottling or manufacturing process which is infallible in terms of the purity and wholesomeness of the manufactured product. Lawsuits by consumer-plaintiffs have involved such incidents as alleged swallowing of pieces of broken glass,*fn1 or unconsumed portions of a bottle containing residual matter such as a rusted bottle cap and dirt.*fn2 But "the pause that refreshes" has also been rudely disturbed by the asserted discovery of such bizarre objects as a dead mouse,*fn3 "three dead flies and other foreign matter,"*fn4 and even a "dead oriental cockroach."*fn5 By comparison, the cigarette allegedly involved in the instant case would seem relatively innocuous.
