Updated: June 28, 2011
Altaire Pharmaceuticals recalls about 898,000 bottles of Rugby 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.
The recall involves Rugby Children's Pain & Fever Concentrated Drops (Acetaminophen Drops) in a 1/2 fl. oz. (15 ml) bottle size.
The UPC code 305361936723 can be found with the bar code at the bottom of the box.
14 lots are affected.
They were sold at Drug stores, grocery stores and other retailers nationwide between January 2009 and June 2011 for about $4.
Consumers should immediately store this product with the child-resistant closure in place and keep it out of the reach of children. To arrange for a free replacement dropper, contact Altaire Pharmaceuticals at (800) 258-2471 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.
