Kramer Laboratories Safetussin Max Strength Multi-Symptom Cough, Cold and Flu Blister Packs
Check whether yours is affected, then follow the instructions below.
What’s wrong
The Safetussin over-the-counter cold medicine contains acetaminophen, which must be in child-resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The packaging of the products is not child-resistant as a tablet can be pushed through the foil, posing a risk of poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
What it looks like
Photos help. Identifiers decide. Appearance can vary by color, finish or packaging. Confirm the model number, date code or other identifier in the official notice.

What to do
Consumers should immediately secure the product out of the sight and reach of children and contact Kramer Laboratories for information on how to return or dispose of the product for a full refund. Only the packaging is being recalled, not the medicine itself, but both should be disposed.
