Syringes Found in 2 Sealed Cans of Diet Pepsi

SEATTLE —
The Food and Drug Administration reported Saturday that it is investigating how two syringes got into separate cans of Diet Pepsi.
The first syringe was discovered by an elderly couple Wednesday in Tacoma. The second was found Friday by a woman in Federal Way, a suburban city between Seattle and Tacoma.
The can opened Friday had been sealed six months before the other one was sealed, said Susan Herbert, a spokeswoman for Alpac Corp., the regional Pepsi bottler and distributor.
“It has to be some sort of sabotage because there is no way that type of a foreign object could enter our product in the normal course of events,” Alpac President Karl G. Behnke told KING Television.
