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.

"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 has reported.

The immediate risk to consumers is low; 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.

Do I really want to trust anybody with my money right now. With this government in office. ARead More voluntary pension plan with who in charge. The state? Does anyone seriously trust the state right now. I don't. When the money disappears we will hear what we are from the IRS sorry I plead the 5th. I don't know anything. I didn't see that. I don't know what you are talking about. I went to the white house for an Easter egg hunt. Bunch of idiots.

Revman, This is a law to create a Voluntary Pension Plan. One in which many people have wanted andRead More need. I do not think anyone would support a mandatory pension plan in the state. It is all voluntary. A Senate Bill is just a technicality that has to be passed.
