Altaire Pharmaceuticals

Sold At: 

Drug stores, grocery stores and other retailers nationwide between January 2009 and June 2011 for about $4.

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.

About 898,000
