Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Aurohealth is recalling about 137,300 bottles of Walgreens brand Extra Strength Acetaminophen (500 mg) sold in 150-count bottles. These over-the-counter pain relievers and fever reducers were sold in white bottles with red and white labels and red gear-style caps. The packaging for these products is not child-resistant as required by law, posing a risk of poisoning if the medicine is swallowed by young children. Consumers should immediately store the product out of reach and sight of children and return it to Walgreens for a full refund.

Risk

The product's packaging fails to meet child-resistant safety requirements. This creates a risk of poisoning if young children are able to open the container and ingest the acetaminophen caplets. No incidents or injuries have been reported.
