Summary

Pharma Nobis LLC is recalling approximately 148,416 bottles of Magnesium Citrate Saline Laxative Oral Solutions sold under the Walgreens, CVS Health, Good Neighbor Pharmacy, and Freskaro brands. The recall was initiated because these non-sterile products were found to contain Acetobacter nitrogenifigens bacteria. Using contaminated oral medications can lead to infections or other adverse health effects, particularly for individuals with weakened immune systems. These products were distributed nationwide in 10 fl. oz. bottles.

Risk

Consumption of a product contaminated with bacteria can lead to serious infections or gastrointestinal illness.
