Vicks Dayquil Cold & Flu Liquicaps Recalled

Washington, DC: About 700,000 packages of Vicks Dayquil Cold & Flu 24-Count Bonus Pack Liquicaps are being recalled by Proctor & Gamble because the cold and flu medicine contains acetaminophen and is not in child-resistant packaging and lacks the statement, "This Package for Households Without Young Children," as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. This medicine could cause serious health problems or death to a child if several of the capsules are swallowed.

The recall involves Vicks Dayquil Cold & Flu 24-Count Bonus Pack Liquicaps. The medicine comes in orange packaging with the green Vicks symbol and has the following UPC#: 3 23900 01087 1. No other Vick's product is included in this recall.

The medicine was sold at drug stores, grocery stores and other retailers nationwide between September 2008 and December 2009 for about $5.
