Recalled Safetussin Max Strength Multi-Symptom Cough, Cold and Flu, 24-count caplets
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 Safetussin over-the-counter cold medicine contains acetaminophen, which must be in child-resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The packaging of the products is not child-resistant as a tablet can be pushed through the foil, posing a risk of poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children.
None reported
The official remedy
Consumers should immediately secure the product out of the sight and reach of children and contact Kramer Laboratories for information on how to return or dispose of the product for a full refund. Only the packaging is being recalled, not the medicine itself, but both should be disposed.
