Kroger is recalling approximately 25,660 bottles of Kroger brand Acetaminophen Arthritis Pain Extended-Release Tablets (650 mg). The product's packaging is not child-resistant as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act, which poses a serious poisoning risk if children access and swallow the medication. No incidents or injuries have been reported at this time. The affected bottles were sold in various Kroger-affiliated stores nationwide between December 2021 and March 2022.
The packaging fails to meet child-resistant standards, allowing young children to potentially open the bottle and ingest the tablets. Acetaminophen poisoning can cause severe liver damage or death in young children.
Consumers should immediately store the recalled product in a safe location out of reach and sight of children. Contact Kroger for information on how to properly dispose of the product and receive a full refund.
