According to the manufacturer and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Novartis is set to recall a number of over-the-counter medications due to mislabeled bottles or broken pills. The items include Excedrin Bufferin NoDoz and Gas-X with expiration dates of December 20 2014 or earlier. The company notes the voluntary nature of the recall.
Commentary
Though this appears to be a minor recall as far as potential injuries go readers should be advised to either destroy used bottles or return the unused medications. Broken pills are probably not that big of a risk as Id expect most simply would not take the medication. However mislabeling of bottles has led to injuries in the past and complicates the dosage value of the medications.
