From Foster’s Food Fair

Foster’s Food Fair-IGA would like to announce that Parsippay, NJ, RB (formerly Reckitt Benckiser) has recalled certain lots of liquid bottles of MUCINEX FAST-MAX because the over-the-counter medications, which correctly label the product on the front of the bottle and lists all active ingredients, may not have the correct corresponding drug facts label on the back. This recall was due to a confirmed report from a retailer.

This mislabeling could cause the consumer to be unaware of side effects and/or risks associated with the ingestion of certain product ingredients which include Acetaminophen, Dextromethorphan, Guaifenesin, Phenylephrine and/or Diphenhydramine. Consumer would not be adequately warned of side effects which could potentially lead to health complications requiring urgent medical intervention, particularly in the case of Acetaminophen use in people with liver impairment, taking three or more alcoholic drinks or when taking other medicines containing this active ingredient without the consulting of a doctor.

Foster’s Food Fair-IGA carries the following Mucinex Fast Max mislabeled product:
