Following last week's post about MeadWestvaco (MWV), two medicinal syrups have issued a recall on over 2 million units Jan. 31.
The products in question are Triaminic Syrups, Theraflu Warming Relief Syrups and about 20 others of the same type. Reason behind the product recall is the supposed child-resistant caps.
There were 12 reports of children who were able to unscrew the caps, and four reports of ingestion. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission in the United States, one incident sought medical attention.
Patrons affected by the recall can get a repair or a refund.

Nice work Steph - a follow-up story! (You'd definitely have to do that on a website.)
