Around 433,600 bottles of Excedrin products are being recalled because some of the bottles may have a hole in the bottom.
The plastic bottles pose a poisoning risk, if there’s a hole, because a child may be able to get the caplets and swallow the painkillers.
GSK Consumer Health issued the recall for five types of Excedrin products toward the end of December 2020.
Consumers should immediately check Excedrin bottles to see if there is a hole at the bottom. If there isn’t a hole, the consumers can keep the over-the-counter medicine, according to the recall.
