Medline Industries Inc. is recalling 462 cases (approximately 66,528 individual packets) of Vitamin A&D Ointment (petroleum 93.5%) because the individual foil packets inside the boxes are incorrectly labeled as petroleum jelly. While the outer boxes and cases are correctly labeled as A&D ointment, the labeling on the 0.18 oz (5g) packets themselves is wrong. This mislabeling could lead a consumer to use the product incorrectly or be unaware of the specific ingredients in the A&D formulation compared to plain petroleum jelly.
A labeling mix-up on individual packets means consumers may apply a product containing multiple ingredients when they believe they are using pure petroleum jelly. This can lead to improper treatment of skin conditions or potential allergic reactions to ingredients that were not expected based on the packet's label.
