What chemical is it and what caused a reaction? I can throw a block of sodium into a local swimming pool (hypothetical situation) and then come up with a headline „chemical explodes because of local swimming pool water“. Unfortunately I can’t find anything in English.
What about Nestle, the fucking Nestle?
For which people even made a dedicated subreddit

Appalling. I hope the drinks are being removed as we don’t know and can’t know for sure how many are affected.
In Rijeka, an individual was hospitalized with a suspected chemical injury to the esophagus after consuming contaminated mineral water at a local café. The situation has escalated, and two more cases of poisoning have emerged, with affected individuals being treated at KBC Zagreb.
The Croatian Institute of Public Health received samples of a non-alcoholic beverage from the Sanitary Inspection following an investigation at the café in Rijeka. The results of the analysis are awaited, with confirmation that the cases have the same diagnosis, although they involve different drinks. The incident in Rijeka was associated with Romerquelle mineral water in a glass bottle at a hospitality establishment, while the incident in Zagreb involved Coca-Cola in a plastic bottle purchased from a vending machine at a university.
The authorities, including the State Inspectorate, are actively working to determine the exact nature of these cases. It’s worth noting that Romerquelle is produced in Austria, while Coca-Cola is manufactured in Croatia.
HRT, the Croatian public broadcaster, has confirmed two additional cases of poisoning in KBC Zagreb, bringing the total to three, alongside the initially reported case in KBC Rijeka. The police have also issued a statement on the situation.
Croatia’s Health Minister, Vili Beroš, has acknowledged these incidents and confirmed two suspicious cases in Zagreb, involving younger individuals. He stated that they are currently stable and not in life-threatening condition, with all necessary resources available to address the situation.
This is indeed a worrisome development, as it raises concerns about the safety of beverages consumed in public places. The story of a 19-year-old who suffered damage to his esophagus after consuming a flavored carbonated drink serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers involved.
Coca-Cola Croatia has responded to the incident, confirming its connection to a Romerquelle mineral water bottle and expressing deep concern. They have pledged full cooperation with the authorities in resolving the matter.
New fear unlocked!
Someone really fucked up in the factory. First cases happened more than a month ago if I’m not mistaken?
Coca-Cola is playing a dangerous game here. Initially, they stated it was an isolated case with only one bottle being contaminated and now two more cases appeared in the last few hours. If they don’t retract all of the suspected beverages and this continues I hope they get sued for more than they worth.

Fake?
