Coca-Cola said Friday there was no “product quality issue” with its Pulpy Milky drinks, after a boy who had consumed the product died and three others fell ill.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stores around the country pulled bottles of the fruit-flavoured milk drink from their shelves after a boy died and his mother fell into a coma in the northeastern Chinese province of Jilin.<\/p>\n

Two other people, a mother and daughter, were also hospitalised after drinking a bottle of Pulpy Milky, but have since recovered and returned home.<\/p>\n

Investigators have said the drinks were tainted with organic phosphorous, a toxic pesticide, the China News Service reported on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“This case does not involve a product quality issue,” said Joanna Price, Coca-Cola’s China-based spokeswoman, without elaborating.<\/p>\n

State media have said police in the city of Changchun, capital of Jilin are treating the case as a murder, meaning criminal intent is suspected in the poisonings.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“To ensure public health and safety, our company is fully and actively cooperating with work of the local authorities,” Price said, adding that the company had temporarily pulled bottles of strawberry-flavoured Pulpy Milky from shelves in Jilin.<\/p>\n

Pulpy Milky is made by Coca-Cola subsidiary Minute Maid.<\/strong> The Jilin government said nearly 60,000 bottles of the suspect drink had been removed from store shelves as of Friday.<\/p>\n

According to press reports, stores in several other Chinese cities including Beijing and Shanghai have also stopped selling the drink.<\/p>\n
