Some Alka-Seltzer cold gels recalled

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 (UPI) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced the recall of a single lot of Alka-Seltzer Plus Day & Night Cold Formula Liquid Gels due to a labeling error.

The FDA said the Bayer Corp.'s consumer care division said the labeling on the foil blister card of certain packages was printed with the label reversed.

The affected Alka-Seltzer Plus product lot number -- 296939L -- is located on both the interior blister package in black text adjacent to the expiration date, as well as on the exterior carton, embossed on the side panel under the Bayer logo.

The product was sold only in the United States.

Bayer said the information on the underside of the blister package was reversed, so the labeling information for the green night product appears under some of the blue day product and vice versa. As such, Bayer said there is a risk that consumers might not be aware of the warnings of an antihistamine in the product that could cause drowsiness.

Consumers with the recalled product are urged to contact Bayer at 800-986-3307 with any questions or for instructions on obtaining a refund or replacement.
