DAYQUIL RECALL INFO 12/21

About 700,000 packages of Vicks Dayquil cold medicine were recalled Friday because the packaging was not child-resistant, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The recall is of Vicks Dayquil Cold & Flu 24-Count Bonus Pack Liquicaps with the UPC no. 3 23900 01087 1. The packages were sold between September 2008 and December 2009. The caps were not child-resistant, and did not have the statements: "This package for households without young children" and "should be kept out of the reach of young children." No injuries have been reported, but the commission says that serious illness or death could occur if a child swallows several of the pills. If you bought the product, get a refund or coupon from Proctor and Gamble Co. by calling 800-251-3374.
