DayQuil Cold & Flu 24-count LiquiCaps Recalled

printsend

The Procter & Gamble Company has announced it is recalling its Vicks DayQuil Cold & Flu 24-count liquicaps bonus pack in the U.S.

P&G is taking this action because this product does not contain a child-resistant backing for the blister packs in the box, despite label statements that the product is in child-resistant packaging.

The lack of child-resistant packaging means a child could gain access to the medicine, which could cause serious health problems or death to a child if accidentally swallowed. No accidental ingestion by children has been reported with this product, and the medication itself is safe to use when taken as directed. This product is not intended for use by children under age 12, unless recommended by a physician.

Consumers who purchased this DayQuil 24-count product expecting it was in child-resistant packaging should call P&G at 800-251-3374 for a refund or replacement coupon. Anyone with a question can call P&G at this toll-free number or visit www.vicks.com.

Consumers who want to continue to use the product should do so as directed, taking extra care to keep it out of the reach of children.

No other DayQuil or Vicks products are affected.
