Rugby Children's Pain & Fever Concentrated Drops recall: Failure to Meet Child-Resistant Closure
Rugby Children's Pain & Fever Concentrated Drops Recalled Due To Failure to Meet Child-Resistant Closure Requirement
Why was Rugby Children's Pain & Fever Concentrated Drops recalled?
This over the counter medicine contains acetaminophen which calls for child-resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. Although the original bottle has child-resistant packaging, a separate dropper unit provided for dispensing the drug to children does not. When in use, a child can access the medicine, posing serious health problems or death if more than the recommended dosage is consumed.
What should I do if I have this product?
Consumers should immediately store this product with the child-resistant closure in place and keep it out of the reach of children.
