Children’s Medicine Recall Announced
GSK Consumer Healthcare has announced a recall of two children’s medicines. The dosing cups included in the package are missing markings of specific graduations.
The company announcement reads in part:
“GSK Consumer Healthcare is voluntarily recalling to the retail level two lots (listed below) of Children’s Robitussin® Honey Cough and Chest Congestion DM and one lot of Children’s Dimetapp® Cold and Cough, due to the inclusion of incorrect dosing cups. During the review of the packaging documents for these products, GSK discovered that the dosing cups for the Children’s Robitussin® Honey product are missing the 5 mL and 10 mL graduations, while the dosing cups for the Children’s Dimetapp® product are missing the 10 mL graduation. The dosing cups packaged with both products only have the 20 mL graduation.
There is a potential risk of accidental overdose if caregivers dispensing the syrup do not notice the discrepancies between the graduations printed on the dosing cups and the indicated amounts to be administered (as directed in the instructions for use).”
Medications included in the recall:
- Children’s Robitussin Honey Cough & Chest Congestion DM 4oz
- NDC 0031-8760-12
- Lots: 02177 (exp 01/22) and 02178 (exp 01/22)
- Children’s Dimetapp Cold & Cough 8oz
- NDC 0031-2234-19
- Lot CL8292 (exp 09/21)
