Rugby Children's Pain & Fever Concentrated Drops, RECALL!

 

http://wemakeitsafer.com/Rugby-Childrens-Pain-Fever-Concentrated-Drops-Recall-757932-623635#RecalledProductInformation

What is the problem?

This over the counter medicine contains acetaminophen which calls for child-resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. Although the original bottle has child-resistant packaging, a separate dropper unit provided for dispensing the drug to children does not. When in use, a child can access the medicine, posing serious health problems or death if more than the recommended dosage is consumed.

How can I tell if I own this product?
