Summary

Time-Cap Labs is recalling about 209,430 bottles of Kroger brand Aspirin (81 mg) and Ibuprofen (200 mg) because the packaging is not child-resistant as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The recall includes 300-count bottles of green and yellow labeled Low Dose Aspirin and 160-count bottles of blue and white labeled Ibuprofen softgel capsules. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date. Consumers should immediately move these products to a safe location out of reach and sight of children and contact Kroger for a full refund.

Risk

The bottle caps on these products are not child-resistant, posing a serious risk of poisoning if a young child accesses and swallows the contents. Aspirin and ibuprofen are regulated substances that must be in protective packaging to prevent accidental ingestion by children.
