Recall started
9 March 2023
Reason
The recalled prescription drugs and products that contain lidocaine must be in child resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA). The packaging of the products is not child resistant, posing a risk of poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately secure the medications out of the sight and reach of children and contact Sandoz for a free child resistant pouch to store the products. Once the medication is secured, consumers can continue to use the medication as directed.
