Demand that SNAPPLE pull tainted ice tea off of store shelves

The Issue

My daughter became deathly ill after drinking Snapple Peach Ice Tea that we purchased from Sam's Club in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania.  The peach ice tea tasted sour and carbonated, and a white Vaseline-like substance was floating in the tea.  She became sick to her stomach and then vomited all evening.  When she looked online, she found that many others had also become sick and vomited after drinking this product.  Others posted, that when they informed Snapple of the problem, they were told it was toxic mold, and the Snapple Customer Service Representative offered to send then coupons for more of their tainted products.  Why is the company refusing to pull this product off of store shelves, if they are fully aware of the problem?  Why would customers want coupons for more tainted products?  This lack of concern for customer safety tells consumers a lot about the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group's priorities.  I am asking that the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group pull this product off store shelves, until they can discover the source of the mold and correct the problem.
