The prices of some Coca-Cola Company products will increase from Sept. 1. The hike will apply to 350-milliliter (11.8-ounce) cans of Coca-Cola, 355-milliliter cans of Sprite and 600-milliliter bottles of Powerade Mountain Blast.

The beverage company is a subsidiariy of LG Household & Healthcare, which explained that the price increase comes on the back of rising raw material import costs and labor expenses.
