What this means for you

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

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class I, which per the rubric mandates a minimum severity score of 4 (Severe) due to the potential for serious adverse health consequences from missing safety warnings.

Plain-English summary

The recall is due to a labeling error where 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.
