The Consumer Healthcare Products Association, which represents U.S. makers of over-the-counter cough and cold medicines insists the medicines are -- and always have been -- safe at recommended doses.
The problem is many parents have failed to follow the products' directions, and there have been numerous overdoses reported to health authorities in the U.S.
In cases of overdoses, either too much medication was given, it was given too often, or more than one cough and cold medicine containing the same active ingredient were used.
Until Foster’s Food Fair IGA has a further correspondence from the manufactures on these affected products moving forward, they will not be available. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, however the safety of our customers is our top priority.We encourage all customers who have purchased these products to return the affected product to their Foster’s Food Fair IGA of purchase for a full refund.
