Check the label first
Compare every letter, number, space and suffix. A similar-looking product with a different suffix may not be part of this recall.
Why it was recalled
The prescription drug packaging is not child resistant as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act, posing a poisoning risk if swallowed by children.
The firms have received one report of a child ingesting haloperidol from a blister pack.
The official remedy
Consumers should immediately secure the blister cards to keep them out of the sight and reach of children and contact Novartis or Sandoz for further instructions. Novartis and Sandoz advise that consumers should continue to use the medication as directed once the blister packages are secured.
