What happened

Sandoz is recalling bottles of Losartan Potassium and Ezetimibe prescription medications because the bottle caps do not meet child-resistant closure requirements under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. If a child swallows medication from one of these bottles, it could cause poisoning. The recalled products include Ezetimibe 10mg tablets in 30-count and 90-count bottles and Losartan Potassium 50mg tablets in 30-count bottles, with specific lot numbers expiring between August 2020 and January 2021.

According to the recall notice, consumers who have affected bottles should immediately secure the medications to keep them away from children's sight and reach. Consumers can continue taking their medication as directed and should contact Sandoz for a free replacement child-resistant bottle cap.
