Kramer Laboratories Safetussin Max Strength Multi-Symptom recall: Child Poisoning
Kramer Laboratories Recalls Safetussin Max Strength Multi-Symptom Cough, Cold and Flu Blister Packs Due to Risk of Child Poisoning; Violation of Federal Regulation for Child Resistant Packaging
Why was Kramer Laboratories Safetussin Max Strength Multi-Symptom recalled?
The Safetussin over-the-counter cold medicine contains acetaminophen, which must be in child-resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The packaging of the products is not child-resistant as a tablet can be pushed through the foil, posing a risk of poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children.
What should I do if I have this product?
Consumers should immediately secure the product out of the sight and reach of children and contact Kramer Laboratories for information on how to return or dispose of the product for a full refund. Only the packaging is being recalled, not the medicine itself, but both should be disposed. Contact: Kramer Laboratories at 800-824-4894 Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, e-mail at [email protected], or online at https://safetussin.com/recall for more information.
