Plain-English summary

Medline Industries, Inc. is recalling specific bottles of Acetaminophen Regular-Strength Pain Reliever tablets. The recall involves 100-count bottles labeled as containing 325 mg tablets, but which actually contain 500 mg tablets. The affected product is identified by NDC 53329-642-30, Lot # 45810, and an expiration date of 05/18.

The recall was initiated because of a labeling error where the declared strength on the bottle did not match the actual tablet strength. This discrepancy could lead to consumers taking a higher dose of acetaminophen than intended if they follow the dosing instructions for the 325 mg strength.

The product was distributed nationwide. Consumers who have this specific product should stop using it and contact Medline Industries for further instructions or a refund.
