Rugby Children's Pain & Fever Concentrated Drops Recalled Due To Failure to Meet Child-Resistant Closure Requirement

Recall date:June 23, 2011
Product Category: medicine

Rugby Children's Pain & Fever Concentrated Drops Recall

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in cooperation with Altaire Pharmaceuticals, Inc., of Aquebogue, N.Y
have recalled about 898,000 Children's Pain & Fever Concentrated Drops.

This over the counter medicine contains acetaminophen which calls for child-resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. Although the original bottle has child-resistant packaging, a separate dropper unit provided for dispensing the drug to children does not. When in use, a child can access the medicine, posing serious health problems or death if more than the recommended dosage is consumed.

No injuries reported.
