Acme United Corporation is recalling about 165,000 boxes of PhysiciansCare brand over-the-counter medications, including Extra Strength Non Aspirin (acetaminophen), Aspirin (aspirin), Extra Strength Pain Reliever (acetaminophen and aspirin), and Ibuprofen (ibuprofen). The packaging of these products is not child-resistant as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act, which poses a risk of poisoning if young children open the boxes and swallow the tablets. The medications were sold in various quantities ranging from 50 to 500 tablets per box on Amazon.com and FSAstore.com between February 2014 and June 2021.
The packaging for these regulated medications is not child-resistant, posing a serious risk of poisoning if a young child accesses and consumes the contents. While no injuries or incidents have been reported to date, the product failure violates federal safety requirements for household drug packaging.
Consumers should immediately store the recalled products in a safe location out of reach of children and contact Acme United for information on how to dispose of or return the product and receive a full refund. Acme United is contacting all purchasers directly.
