Reckitt is recalling about 3.74 million bottles of Airborne Gummies because pressure can build up inside the bottle, causing the cap and seal to pop off with force when opened for the first time. The company has received 70 reports of this occurring, resulting in 18 minor injuries and one eye injury that required medical treatment. The recalled gummies were sold in 63 and 75-count bottles in assorted fruit, orange, and blueberry pomegranate flavors. Consumers with unopened bottles should not attempt to open them and instead contact the manufacturer for a full refund.
Excessive pressure inside the bottle can cause the cap and seal to eject forcefully when first opened, posing a risk of impact injuries to the face and eyes. This defect has already caused 19 reported injuries, including one serious injury to a consumer's eye.
Consumers with an unopened bottle(s) should not attempt to open the product and should contact Reckitt to return the unopened bottle(s) to receive a full refund. A postage-paid label will be provided. Bottles that have already been opened are not subject to this recall as they would have released any pressure build up and do not present an injury hazard.
Sold from May 2020 through February 2022.
