Summary

L. Perrigo Company is recalling 816,700 cartons of Fexofenadine Hydrochloride Tablets (180 mg), a non-drowsy allergy medication sold under various store brands including Aller-Fex, Picnic, aller-ease, and others. The recall was issued because the tablets failed testing for impurities and degradation specifications, which means the product's chemical makeup may have changed over time. Affected products were sold nationwide at major retailers such as Amazon, CVS, Target, Publix, and BJ's Wholesale Club.

Risk

The tablets failed to meet quality standards for impurities and shelf-life stability. While no injuries or side effects have been reported, using medication that has degraded or contains unapproved levels of impurities could impact the product's safety or effectiveness.
