Hazard
The over-the-counter drug products contain regulated substances which must be in child resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA). The packaging of the products is not child resistant, posing a risk of poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately store the recalled products in a safe location out of sight and reach of children, and safely dispose of the recalled product as soon as is practicable. Contact Geri-Care Pharmaceuticals for a full refund or replacement over-the-counter drug product.
