Rugby child pain and fever drops are being recalled because the packaging is not childproof, according to news reports . Nearly 900,000 bottles of pain and fever drops for children are being recalled because the package does not meet child-proof standards.
The dropper for dispensing the drug does not have child-resistant design. A child may be able to access the product, which poses serious dangers if a child were to consume the medicine over the recommended dosage.
So far, no reported injuries or illnesses have resulted from the product. This medicine was sold in drug and grocery stores across the country since January 2009. They contain acetaminophen, which requires child-proof packaging due to the Poison Prevention Packaging Act.
