Risk Of Poisoning
Novartis Consumer Health Inc., has recalled about 2.3 million units of Triaminic® Syrups and Theraflu Warming Relief® Syrups -- including products for infants -- due to the failure of child-resistant caps to function properly, enabling the cap to be removed by a child with the tamper-evident seal in place, posing a risk of unintentional ingestion and poisoning.
