The report claims that several thousand bottles of the water were found to be contaminated. Supposedly, hundreds of people became very ill and had to be hospitalised after consuming the contaminated water. The report features an image \u00a0that supposedly depicts the transparent &#8216;worms&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>However, the claims in the report are untrue.  \u00a0Coca-Cola has not recalled Dasani Water and there are no credible reports supporting the claim that the product has been contaminated in any way.  \u00a0Nor are there any credible reports \u00a0about illnesses and \u00a0hospitalisations caused by drinking Dasani.  \u00a0Of course, if true, the recall \u00a0would have been widely covered by mainstream news outlets around the world and Coke would have issued official recall notices to alert members of the public.<\/p>\n<p>The false \u00a0report comes from a clickbait fake-news website called &#8216;News4KTLA&#8217;. The site has published several other utterly false stories that it has disguised as news in an effort to trick people into believing and sharing \u00a0its content. Unlike many other fake-news sites, \u00a0News4KTLA does not include any disclaimer that might alert readers that the material it publishers is fiction rather than real news.<\/p>\n<p>Coke bottling company Coca-Cola UNITED has \u00a0<a title=\"NO RECALL ON DASANI WATER.\" href=\"http:\/\/cocacolaunited.com\/blog\/2016\/04\/14\/no-recall-on-dasani\/\">debunked the false claims in a post<\/a> on its website, noting in part:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>In communications between Greg Babb, \u00a0Corporate Director of Quality and Sustainability for Coca-Cola UNITED, \u00a0and The Coca-Cola Company regarding the information, The Coca-Cola Company confirmed, &#8220;The source of this false and inflammatory information about our brand is a hoax news website.
