Vita Health Products Issues Voluntary Recall of Safeway Ibuprofen Liquid Capsules 200 mg

WINNIPEG, Aug. 2, 2013 /CNW/ - Today Vita Health Products Inc. announced the voluntary recall of all lots of Safeway Ibuprofen Liquid Capsules 200 mg 72 count.  The product is being recalled due to a labeling design error.

The product is packaged with a non child resistant bottle and cap configuration.  The outer carton correctly states "Child resistant cap available in another size", however the inner label incorrectly states "Child Resistant Cap."

The outer box and inner label states 'CAUTION: KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.  There is enough drug in this package to seriously harm a child' in French and English in prominent red text.

Once Vita Health became aware of the issue, the company immediately notified Health Canada and began the recall process.  To date there have been no adverse events reported concerning the product.
