Reason for Recall

This medicine could cause serious health problems or death to a child if several of the capsules are swallowed.
Action Taken
Consumers should keep this product out of the reach of children. Consumers who purchased the product with the expectation that it would be in child-resistant packaging can contact Procter & Gamble for a full refund or a replacement coupon.
