Chris Smith — Sat, 18 Jun 2022 11:15:12 +0000

Aspirin, ibuprofen, and acetaminophen are common over-the-counter drugs that most people have around the house. The drugs can relieve pain and reduce fevers, among other things. Additionally, many people use these drugs to treat various other chronic health issues. But buyers should know there are four separate recall actions concerning various brands of aspirin, ibuprofen, and acetaminophen.

In total, we’re looking at around 400,000 bottles of these over-the-counter medicines that pose a poisoning risk, according to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). That’s because the drugs come in containers that are not child-resistant and thus do not meet the requirements of the Poison Prevention Packaging Act.
