As FOX LA reports, this incident is particularly frightening because the customer had no idea anything was wrong with her coffee until it was too late. She's just lucky she got to the ER as quickly as she did!

Here Is What Happened… 

“Everything was fine when I was first drinking the drink, I didn't notice anything different,” Kelly says. “I got about halfway through and started having stomach issues. I started swishing it around and heard some rattling in there, went to the sink and dumped it out and filtered it in my hand and there was two little wafers in there of something.”

Karen took the cup back to the Starbucks with the tablets in it. She showed the tablets to the manager. “She was very apologetic,” Karen says. “She told me that they use the tablets first thing in the morning before they open and then they clean the machines again after the morning rush.”

But Karen says the manager couldn’t tell her if the poison in Kelly's venti hot mocha would do any long term harm. So Karen took pictures of the container that the tablets usually come in.

She sent them to Kelly, who by this time was on her way to the emergency room. “My stomach is a mess, and my tongue is numb, I am thinking the worse-case scenario. It would have been nice to have some reassurance about the chemical in my drink.”

Doctors in the ER called poison control and Kelly was assured that in a few days she would be back to normal.
