Children's Pain & Fever Concentrated Drops
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Rugby Children's Pain & Fever Concentrated Drops in 1/2 fl. oz. bottles are being recalled because the dropper unit used to dispense the medicine to children does not have a child-resistant closure, even though the original bottle does. The product contains acetaminophen, which is required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act to have child-resistant packaging. A child can access the medicine from the dropper without the proper closure, which could cause serious health problems or death if an overdose is consumed.
The recall affects bottles with UPC code 305361936723 and specific lot numbers including 09002, 09379, 10272, 10368, 10487, 09131, 09394, 10273, 10406, 11058, 09215, 10154, 10366, and 10433, which are stamped on the bottom of the carton and on the bottle. Consumers should immediately store the product with the child-resistant closure in place and keep it away from children. To get a free replacement dropper, consumers should contact Altaire Pharmaceuticals at (800) 258-2471 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.

This over the counter medicine contains acetaminophen which calls for child-resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. Although the original bottle has child-resistant packaging, a separate dropper unit provided for dispensing the drug to children does not. When in use, a child can access the medicine, posing serious health problems or death if more than the recommended dosage is consumed.
Consumers should immediately store this product with the child-resistant closure in place and keep it out of the reach of children. To arrange for a free replacement dropper, contact Altaire Pharmaceuticals at (800) 258-2471 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.
