Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary
Reckitt Benckiser LLC is recalling 495,036 bottles of Mucinex Fast-Max Cold, Flu & Sore Throat liquid. The product is distributed nationwide and is available in 6 fl oz (180 mL) bottles for ages 12 and older.
The recall was initiated due to a labeling error. While the front of the bottle is correctly labeled, the back of the bottle, which contains the Drug Facts panel, is missing certain active ingredients such as acetaminophen, phenylephrine, dextromethorphan, diphenhydramine, and/or guaifenesin. Consequently, specific safety warnings associated with these ingredients may also be missing from the label.
Consumers should check their bottles for the affected lot numbers and expiration dates listed in the recall notice. If a bottle is affected, consumers should stop using the product and contact the manufacturer for a refund or replacement.
