Approximately 23,402 cases of Doan's Pain Relieving Cream with 4% Lidocaine Plus Menthol (generic lidocaine and menthol topical cream) are being recalled. The recall was initiated because the lot number on the outer packaging does not match the lot number printed on the tube inside. This labeling error could lead to consumers using the product past its intended shelf life or being unable to identify the product accurately in the event of a future safety issue. If you have this product, you should contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance regarding its use.
The mismatch between the tube and the box means consumers may have incorrect information regarding when the medication expires or which production batch it belongs to. Using medication past its expiration date can result in decreased effectiveness or unpredictable safety.
Healthcare provider consultation and pharmacy refund.
