Tanta Pharmaceuticals Inc. has voluntarily recalled its children's acetaminophen products after three reports of problems with the child-resistant caps, according to Health Canada.
“The child safety mechanism on some of the caps may not be locking properly and caps may open even in the locked position,” claimed the health agency in a press release last week. The worry is that children may accidently ingest the pills.
Junior Strength Acetaminophen Tablets 160 mg and Children’s Strength Acetaminophen Tablets 80 mg, which are available at retail locations throughout Canada (including Loblaws, Shoppers Drug Mart and Preferred Pharmacy), are listed in the recall.
Affected products are as follows:
- Life Brand Junior Rapid Melts, Junior Strength Acetaminophen Tablets, Bubblegum 20s, DIN 02230934
- Life Brand Junior Rapid Melts, Junior Strength Acetaminophen Tablets, Grape 20s, DIN 02230934
- Life Brand Child’s Rapid Melts, Children’s Strength Acetaminophen Tablets 80 mg, Bubblegum 24s, DIN 02015676
- Life Brand Child’s Rapid Melts, Children’s Strength Acetaminophen Tablets, Grape 24s, DIN 02015676
