Ultra Seal Corporation is recalling over 5.3 million packets of Pain Relief Maximum Strength and Extra Strength Headache Relief tablets (containing acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine). The recall was initiated because routine testing found the products failed stability specifications due to elevated levels of salicylic acid, which is a compound related to the breakdown of aspirin. These products were sold in 2-tablet packets under the brand names Select Corporation and Convenience Valet. Consumers who have these products should check their lot numbers and expiration dates to see if they are affected.
The elevated levels of salicylic acid indicate that the aspirin in the tablets is degrading or breaking down faster than intended. While this poses a low risk to health, it means the medication may not meet the required quality and potency standards through its listed expiration date.
