Energy Drink Cans Accidently Filled with Booze Recalled

High Noon is recalling two production lots of High Noon Beach Variety packs (12-pack/12 fluid ounce cans). Some of these packs contain cans that are filled with High Noon vodka seltzer alcohol and are mislabeled as CELSIUS® ASTRO VIBE™ Energy Drink, Sparkling Blue Razz Edition with a silver top.  The recall was initiated after High Noon discovered that a shared packaging supplier mistakenly shipped empty CELSIUS cans to High Noon.

In this case, the can supplier shipped the empty CELSIUS energy drink cans to High Noon by accident, and High Noon filled those cans with alcoholic beverage.  Those cans were packed into a variety pack.  Hopefully folks are smart enough to know that when they open the multipack of High Noon product and find an energy drink can, they will realize something is wrong.

How does someone not see a different can during the filling step?
