Geri-Care Pharmaceuticals Recalls OTC Drugs Due To Packaging Issue

By: KDKA-TV News Staff

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- We have a recall to tell you about involving your medicine cabinet.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is recalling about 800 bottles of Geri-Care brand over-the-counter acetaminophen and aspirin.

The Commission says the packaging is not child resistant, so it poses a poisoning risk to children.

There is nothing wrong with the tablets -- only with the packaging.

You should place the medications where children can't reach them, or put them in a different container.

Another option is to contact the company for a refund.
