Recall for Novartis Products: Excedrin

I saw on the news just seconds ago about the new Consumer Product Updates. I was concerned because there are impacted products that I have in my medicine cabinet. Novartis Consumer Health or NCH is voluntarily recalling lots of select bottle sizes of Excedrin and NoDoz products with expiry dates of December 20, 2014 or earlier. The recall also includes Bufferin and Gas-X Prevention products with expiry dates of December 20, 2013 or earlier, in the United States. This recall has been done for precautionary measure. These products may contain stray tablets, capsules, or caplets from other Novartis products. It may contain broken or chipped tablets. If you have these products in your medficine cabinet, you are advise to discontinue the use and return them to Novartis Consumer Health for a full refund.
