Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is recalling approximately 188,631 units of Alka-Seltzer Plus packages due to a labeling error where the ingredients listed on the front sticker may not match the actual medication inside the carton. This recall affects packages that feature a green or orange Bayer logo located on the lower left corner of the front of the carton and include a full front panel Instant Redeemable Coupon (IRC). Consumers who have purchased these products nationwide should verify their packaging and consult a healthcare professional regarding any concerns about the ingredients they may have ingested.
The ingredients listed on the outer label may not accurately reflect the actual medication inside the box, which could lead consumers to ingest ingredients they intended to avoid or miss necessary dosage information. This poses a risk of adverse health effects if a consumer has an allergy or sensitivity to the unlisted ingredients or if the medication interacts poorly with other drugs they are taking.
