(NewsNation) — Soda maker Charles Boggini Company LLC issued a voluntary recall notice after failing to disclose some of its soft drinks contained dyes, chemicals and preservatives, at least one of which has been linked to cancer.

Around 28 gallons of the company’s pink lemonade contained undisclosed FD&C Red No. 40, a dye linked to cancer.

The drinks containing FD&C Red No. 40 were sold at establishments in 1- or 5-gallon quantities across the United States, including:

  • Connecticut
  • Pennsylvania
  • New York
  • New Jersey
  • Arizona
  • Michigan
  • Illinois
  • Nevada
  • California

Other impacted products include yellow lemonade and Yellow Lemonade X containing FD&C Yellow No. 5, which can give some people allergic reactions, and its cola flavoring base, which contains sulfate preservatives that might be dangerous in large quantities.

These products were sold in the same states as the pink lemonade.
