One Lot of Alka-Seltzer Plus Day & Night Cold Formula Liquid Gels Recalled

printsend

Bayer Consumer is recalling a single product lot of the combination package of Alka-Seltzer Plus Day & Night Cold Formula Liquid Gels.

Bayer initiated the recall because the labeling on the foil blister card of certain packages within the lot (less than 4 percent) were printed with the label reversed. All individual liquid filled capsules are imprinted correctly.

The information that follows is from the recalled product lot:

• Lot number: 296939L
• Package size: 20 liquid-filled capsules (12 day capsules and 8 night capsules)
• UPC: 016500537779
• Expiration: 5/11

The lot number can be found on both the interior blister package (in black text adjacent to the expiration date), as well as on the exterior carton containing the blister packaging (embossed on the side panel under the Bayer logo)

This recall does not impact any Alka-Seltzer Plus Day & Night Cold Formula Effervescent products, individually packaged Alka-Seltzer Plus Day Non-Drowsy Cold Formula products, individually packaged Alka-Seltzer Plus Night Cold Formula products or any other lot of Alka-Seltzer Plus Day & Night Cold Formula Liquid-Gels.

As previously stated, the information on the underside of the blister package is reversed on certain packages from the recalled lot. Therefore, the label for the green nighttime-use product appears under some of the blue daytime-use product and vice versa. As such, consumers may not be aware of the warnings of an antihistamine in the product that could cause drowsiness.

Consumers who have a package from the recalled lot should stop using the product and contact Bayer with any questions and to obtain instructions for a refund or replacement product. Consumers should contact Bayer's Consumer Relations Call Center at 800-986-3307, which is available Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. EST. Consumers with medical concerns or questions should contact their health care provider.
