Name of product:
Triaminicยฎ Syrups and Theraflu Warming Reliefยฎ Syrups

Hazard:
The child-resistant caps on these products fail to function properly. This allows the cap to be removed by a child, posing a great risk of unintentional ingestion and poisoning. These products contain acetaminophen and diphenhydramine which are required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act to be sealed with child-resistant and tamper-resistant packaging. Diphenhydramine can cause seizures and cardiac arrhythmias after an overdose. If either of these chemicals are ingested in large doses by a small child, serious injury and even death can occur.

 

Description:
This recall involves Triaminicยฎ Syrups and Theraflu Warming Reliefยฎ Syrups for coughs, colds and fevers. There are 24 types of these two products included in the recall. A complete list of products, lot numbers and National Drug Codes (NDC) can be found atย www.novartisOTC.com. Lot numbers are located on the bottom panel of the box and on the left side of the label on the bottle. The NDC number is located on the upper right corner of the front panel of the Triaminic Syrups box, and the upper left corner of the Theraflu Warming Relief Syrups bottle.

Units:
Approximately 2.3 Million

Thank You for Everything

I would like to take time to thank the staff at Daggett Shuler Attorneys at Law. To Megan Youngblood for helping me get my disability started; thank you so much for everything!

Outstanding

My experience with Daggett Shuler was amazing. James Cohn was the attorney I worked with for my workersโ€™ compensation claim. He is an awesome attorney. I was injured while on the job performing my duties with a local company, and the next Monday was fired because they did not want to pay my medical bills. After going to Daggett Shuler they looked after me throughout the process. The Daggett Shuler team was outstanding in their professionalism and empathy.

Daggett Shuler Will Have Your Back

I was expecting it to take years to get disability and Daggett Shuler went above and beyond to get it as quickly as possible. They got the disability awarded in 6 maybe 8 months tops. I would recommend Daggett Shuler to anyone filing a disability claim. These guys will have your back for sure!
