Alka-Seltzer Plus Day & Night Cold Formula Liquid Gels - Incorrect Packaging

Bayer Consumer Care and FDA notified Consumers of a recall of a single product lot of the combination package of Alka-Seltzer Plus Day & Night Cold Formula Liquid Gels.

This content was written and submitted by the supplier. It has only been modified to comply with this publication’s space and style.

The labeling on the foil blister card of certain packages within the lot were printed with the label reversed. The label for the green Night product appears under some of the blue Day product and vice versa. Consumers using the affected product lot may not be aware of the warnings of an antihistamine in the product that could cause drowsiness.

The affected Alka-Seltzer Plus product lot number can be found on both the interior blister package (in black text adjacent to the expiration date) as well as on the exterior carton containing the blister packaging (embossed on the side panel under the Bayer logo). This product was sold only in the U.S. at retail outlets nationwide.

Package size: 20 liquid filled capsules per carton (12 day formulation capsules and 8 night formulation capsules)
UPC#: 016500537779
Lot #: 296939L
Expiration: 5/11

Consumers who purchased combination packages of Alka-Seltzer Plus Day and Night Cold Formula Liquid Gels from the lot included in this recall should stop using the product and contact Bayer with any questions or for instructions on a refund or replacement.
