Advil Cold & Sinus Day/Night Convenience Pack is being recalled after a labeling error.
The specific batches that are being recalled are the convenience pack box of 36 caplets (lot number ER2072) and the convenience pack box of 18 caplets (lot number ER2069). Both batches have expiry dates of February 2023.
The labeling on the back of the pill package is misaligned labeling some nighttime pills as day time which can have adverse effects because of the anti-histamine in them.
“Taking a nighttime caplet when alertness is required may pose potentially serious adverse health consequences, such as when driving motor vehicles or operating heavy machinery. It may also cause potentially serious health consequences for those who have taken other sedatives or tranquilizers, consumed alcohol, and the elderly. The affected products were distributed in Canada starting July 2021.” This was in a statement on the recall with the Government of Canada’s website.
