Summary Of Recall: The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product.

When in use, a child can access the medicine, posing serious health problems or death if more than the recommended dosage is consumed.
What You Should Do: Consumers should immediately store this product with the child-resistant closure in place and keep it out of the reach of children.
