Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Inc. is recalling approximately 8,976 bottles of Omeprazole Delayed-Release Capsules (20 mg) because a metal staple was found inside a bottle. These over-the-counter 24-hour acid reducer capsules were distributed by Cardinal Health in 14-count bottles within individual cartons. This recall was initiated following a customer complaint about the foreign object being mixed in with the medication capsules.
The presence of a metal staple in the medication bottle poses a serious risk of choking, dental injury, or internal damage if accidentally swallowed with a capsule. While only one complaint has been reported, the physical hazard could cause significant injury to the mouth, throat, or digestive tract.
