(RightIsRight.co) – In an alarming measure to prioritize health safety, Kirkland Signature has recalled its popular cold and flu medication due to potential safety concerns.
Approximately 8,640 boxes of Kirkland Signature Severe Cold & Flu Plus Congestion medicine have been recalled from Costco stores nationwide.
This off-brand version of Dayquil and Nyquil, a staple in many American households, is now under scrutiny due to alleged “quality control issues.”
The Food Drug Administration’s (FDA) sudden interest in a long-used ingredient raises suspicions about the motives behind this recall.
The agency claimed the recall was due to “CGMP deviations,” which means Current Good Manufacturing Practice violations.
However, the specific nature of these deviations remains conveniently undisclosed, leaving consumers in the dark about the situation’s reality.
Adding to the confusion, the FDA is simultaneously considering a ban on oral phenylephrine, a key ingredient in many over-the-counter cold medicines.
This potential ban comes after an outside panel of experts voted against the efficacy of orally administered phenylephrine as a nasal decongestant.
The discontinuity is classified as Class II, which the FDA describes as a situation in which “use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”
Moreover, consumers who have purchased the affected product are being told to either dispose of it or return it to Costco.
The recalled medicine can be identified by its National Drug Code (NDC) number: 63981-795-81, Lot numbers: P139953 or P139815, and an expiration date of August 2026.
The recalled product is a 168-count twin pack containing 112 day-use caplets and 56 night-use caplets.
Americans have trusted these medicines for years to reduce pain and fever, suppress coughs, and promote decongestion.
The nighttime capsules also include antihistamines to help with sleep—a combination that has provided relief to countless hardworking Americans battling cold and flu symptoms.
While the FDA claims the product “should have been rejected” due to quality control issues, many Americans wonder if this is just another example of big government interfering with their personal choices.
As cold and flu season approaches, this recall leaves many patriotic citizens without access to their preferred over-the-counter remedies.
