Recall Summary

On April 10, 2025, Kramer Laboratories, a subsidiary of Arcadia Consumer Healthcare of Bridgewater, New Jersey, announced a recall of Safetussin Max Strength Multi-Symptom Cough, Cold and Flu 24-count caplet blister packs. The recall was issued due to a violation of the federal regulation for child-resistant packaging. The product contains acetaminophen, which is required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act to be in child-resistant packaging. The recalled blister packs are not child-resistant, as a tablet can be pushed through the foil. This poses a risk of poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children. No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall. The recall number is 25223.

Affected Products

The recalled product is Safetussin Max Strength Multi-Symptom Cough, Cold and Flu 24-count caplet blister packs. The packaging is labeled with “Safetussin,” “Multi-Symptom,” “Cough, Cold & Flu,” and “Safe for adults with High Blood Pressure, Diabetes.” The product was sold in a blue, orange, and red cardboard box with the drug facts label on the back. Approximately 14,250 units were affected. The product was manufactured in India. The recalled items were sold at HEB, Harris-Teeter, and other regional grocery stores and independently owned pharmacies nationwide from July 2024 through March 2025 for about $11.

Hazard Information

The hazard associated with this recall is that the Safetussin over-the-counter cold medicine contains acetaminophen, which must be in child-resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The packaging of the recalled products is not child-resistant because a tablet can be pushed through the foil. This creates a risk of poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children. No injuries have been reported as of the date of the recall notice.

Consumer Action Required

Consumers should immediately secure the recalled product out of the sight and reach of children. Consumers should then contact Kramer Laboratories for information on how to return or dispose of the product. The recall notice specifies that only the packaging is being recalled, not the medicine itself, but both the packaging and the medicine should be disposed of.
