Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Kramer Laboratories is recalling about 14,250 units of Safetussin Max Strength Multi-Symptom Cough, Cold and Flu (acetaminophen, dextromethorphan HBr, and guaifenesin) 24-count caplet blister packs. The packaging of these products is not child-resistant as required by federal law because the tablets can be easily pushed through the foil. Consumers should immediately move the medicine to a location that is out of reach of children and contact the manufacturer for a full refund.

Risk

The foil packaging allows children to easily access the medication, posing a serious risk of poisoning if the caplets are accidentally swallowed. No injuries or incidents have been reported to date.

  3. Immediately secure the product in a safe location that is out of the sight and reach of young children.
