Plain-English summary
Reckitt Benckiser LLC is recalling 379,284 bottles of Mucinex Fast-Max Cold & Sinus, Maximum Strength, 6 fl oz (180 mL) liquid. The product is distributed nationwide and is intended for ages 12 and older. The recall involves specific lot numbers with expiration dates ranging from July 31, 2016, to December 31, 2016.
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.
