Zhejiang Jingwei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. is recalling 295,164 tubes of Rugby Laboratories First Aid Antiseptic Ointment (Povidone Iodine USP 10%) because the inactive ingredients are incorrectly labeled. While the packaging lists mineral oil and petrolatum, the actual product contains polyethylene glycol 400 and polyethylene glycol 4000. Consumers should stop using the ointment and contact a healthcare professional if they have concerns.
The presence of undeclared inactive ingredients like polyethylene glycol (PEG) instead of the labeled mineral oil and petrolatum can cause unexpected skin irritation or allergic reactions in individuals sensitive to these specific polymers.
You have 2 options:
Inactive ingredients incorrectly labeled as mineral oil and petrolatum; product actually contains polyethylene glycol 400 and 4000.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
