Costco cold medicine is yanked from the shelves due to ‘foreign material contamination’
Share:
The popular wholesale store released a statement telling consumers to not use any remaining product and return for a full refund. Costco has recalled its brand of cold and flu medicines due to a “potential foreign material contamination” that was accidentally shipped across the U.S.
Customers who bought the product between October 30 and November 30 were advised to examine their purchases. “Out of an abundance of caution, LNK has initiated a recall for the accidental release and shipment of a specific lot code that was rejected due to potential foreign material contamination,” the online statement read.
Affected units are marked with the lot code P140082, Costco said. “Do not use any remaining product marked with the above lot code; return the item to your local Costco for a full refund,” the notice continued. Customers are advised to call LNK International Inc. at (800) 426-9391 or email complaints-inquiries@lnkintl.com, if they have any issues or concerns.
The Food and Drug Administration later upgraded the alert level of Costco’s recent egg recall to “Class I,” meaning this is a “situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.”.
