Triaminic and Theraflu Products Being Recalled

Faulty child-resistant caps are the reason.

The maker of Triaminic and Theraflu productshas voluntarily recalled 24 products because of faulty child-resistant caps, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday. m

"Triaminic Syrups and Theraflu Warming Relief Syrups for cough, colds and fevers were voluntarily recalled by the manufacturer, Novartis Consumer Health, because the cap could still be removed by a child even with the tamper-resistant seal in place," CNN reported.

The immediate risk to consumers is low, because the affected bottles were "distributed between May 24, 2010, and December 21, 2011, approximately 97% of the Theraflu and Triaminic inventory has already been consumed, returned to Novartis, or quarantined at a Novartis warehouse," according to CNN.

The full list of products is available in a pdf attached to this article.
