Natureplex LLC has recalled approximately 74,000 units of Well at Walgreens Maximum Strength Pain and Itch Relief Cream (4% Lidocaine) because the packaging is not child-resistant as required by federal law. The cream contains lidocaine, which can cause serious poisoning if ingested by young children. These products were sold at Walgreens stores and online from March 2017 through November 2017. Consumers should immediately move the cream out of reach of children and return it to any Walgreens for a full refund.
The product's cap does not meet child-resistant safety standards, allowing young children to easily open the tube. This poses a poisoning risk because the cream contains lidocaine, which can be toxic if swallowed or applied inappropriately to a child.
Consumers should immediately place the recalled pain and itch relief cream out of the reach of children and return it to Walgreens for a full refund.
