As cold and flu season continues to plague many, a recent recall has added a new layer of concern for consumers. Costco’s Quality Assurance & Regulatory Affairs department recently issued a recall for Kirkland Signature Severe Cold & Flu Plus Congestion capsules. The recall was initiated after a batch of the medication was mistakenly released and shipped despite being previously rejected due to potential contamination with foreign material. The specific nature of the foreign material remains unclear at this time.
The affected Kirkland Signature Severe Cold & Flu Plus Congestion capsules were available for purchase between October 30, 2024, and November 30, 2024, bearing the lot code P140082. Costco is advising customers who may have purchased products with this lot code to refrain from using them and to return the items to their local Costco store for a full refund. For further inquiries or assistance, consumers can contact LNK International, the manufacturer of the over-the-counter medicine, at 1-800-426-9391 or via email at complaints-inquiries@lnkintl.com.
While the new year has only just begun, it is essential for consumers to remain vigilant as additional recalls have surfaced. The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) issued a recall for Walmart’s Marketside Broccoli Florets in 20 states due to concerns related to potential listeria contamination. The affected bags of washed and ready-to-eat broccoli carry a UPC code of 6 81131 32884 5 on the back and a Lot Code of BFFG327A6 on the front. Consumers are urged to check their products for these specific codes to ensure their safety.
In light of these recalls, it is crucial for individuals to stay informed and take necessary precautions to protect their health and well-being. As always, prioritizing safety and following recommended guidelines can help mitigate risks associated with product recalls and potential health hazards during this challenging time of the year. Stay safe and healthy as you navigate through the current circumstances.
