Kramer Laboratories recalls 14,250 Safetussin blister packs over child safety concerns

A voluntary recall has been issued for Safetussin Max Strength Multi-Symptom Cough, Cold and Flu blister packs by Kramer Laboratories. The recall addresses blister packaging that does not meet child-resistant requirements under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. Because tablets can be pushed through the foil, there is a risk that young children could ingest the medication. Approximately 14,250 units are affected.

The recall was initiated in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission following regulatory concerns about the packaging. The product was distributed across retail and online channels nationwide. Kramer Laboratories is removing the affected stock from circulation and offering refunds to consumers.
