Sandoz Recalls Aprepitant Capsules and Lidocaine and Prilocaine Cream Prescription Drugs Due to Failure to Meet Child Resistant Packaging Requirement; Risk of Poisoning

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The hazard

The recalled prescription drugs and products that contain lidocaine must be in child resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA). The packaging of the products is not child resistant, posing a risk of poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children.

What to do

Consumers should immediately secure the medications out of the sight and reach of children and contact Sandoz for a free child resistant pouch to store the products. Once the medication is secured, consumers can continue to use the medication as directed.
