CPSC campaign 13114

Hazard

These child-resistant caps can fail to function properly and enable the cap to be removed by a child with the tamper-evident seal in place, posing a risk of unintentional ingestion and poisoning. These products contain acetaminophen and diphenhydramine which are required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act to be sealed with child-resistant packaging.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled product and contact Novartis for instructions on how to return the product for a full refund.
