Contract Packaging Resources, a drug repackaging company, is recalling 11,640 boxes of Assured brand Naproxen Sodium tablets.
Some cartons actually contain bottles of Ibuprofen, a different pain reliever. The Ibuprofen bottles were placed in the Naproxen Sodium boxes due to a packaging error.
The affected product is:
- boxes of Assured brand Naproxen Sodium tablets 220-mg, 15-count (Lot #FH4102A) [SKU #122368/UPC #639277223685] containing bottles of Ibuprofen softgels in 200-mg strength.
Consumers who intentionally avoid using Ibuprofen due to allergy, or other medical conditions, may have inadvertently purchased Ibuprofen 200mg softgels, believing it was Naproxen Sodium 220mg tablets. Allergic reactions can range from mild irritation or hives to serious reactions such as anaphylaxes that may be life-threatening.
The firm has not received any reports of adverse events related to this recall.
The recalled product was distributed nationwide to Dollar Tree and sold via the Dollar Tree retail stores and Internet site. The company is notifying its distributors and customers directly and arranging for replacement of all recalled products.
Consumers may return the recalled products to the place of purchase or contact the firm by phone at 336-252-3422, on Monday – Friday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm (Eastern).
