Last Friday, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with The Procter & Gamble Co., of Cincinnati, Ohio, announced a voluntary recall of Vicks Dayquil Cold & Flu 24-Count Bonus Pack Liquicaps. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.

The cold and flu medicine contains acetaminophen and is not in child-resistant packaging and lacks the statement, “This Package for Households Without Young Children,” as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. This medicine could cause serious health problems or death to a child if several of the capsules are swallowed.

The medicine comes in orange packaging with the green Vicks symbol and has the following UPC#: 3 23900 01087. No other Vick’s product is included in this recall.

Consumers should keep this product out of the reach of children. Consumers who purchased the product with the expectation that it would be in child-resistant packaging can contact Procter & Gamble for a full refund or a replacement coupon. Adult consumers can continue to use the product as directed.

For additional information, contact Procter & Gamble at (800) 251-3374 between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or log on to their Web site at http://www.vicks.com/.

Thanks My Dallas Mommy for the heads up.
