Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Geri-Care Pharmaceuticals is recalling five specific types of Geri-Care brand over-the-counter Acetaminophen and Aspirin sold in large-count bottles. These products were sold online through various retailers including Amazon, Simply Medical, and others between early 2021 and August 2021. The recall was issued because the packaging is not child-resistant, which is a violation of the Poison Prevention Packaging Act and can lead to accidental ingestion.

Risk

The packaging of these drugs is not child-resistant, posing a serious risk of poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children. While no injuries have been reported, the high concentration and quantity of tablets in these bottles increase the potential for severe harm if accessed by a child.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately store the recalled Acetaminophen or Aspirin bottles in a safe location out of the sight and reach of children.
  2. Identify if you have the affected products by checking the label for the 'Geri-Care' brand and the specific tablet counts: 500mg Acetaminophen (1,000 count), 325mg Aspirin (250 or 1,000 count), or 81mg Aspirin (300 or 1,000 count).
  3. Safely dispose of the recalled product as soon as is practicable.
  4. Contact Geri-Care Pharmaceuticals for a full refund or replacement over-the-counter drug product.
  5. You can reach Geri-Care Pharmaceuticals at 800-540-3765 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET Friday, or email recalls@gericarepharm.com.
  6. For additional questions, contact the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772.
