If you keep Gas-X in your medicine cabinet, you need to check your bottles immediately. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued an urgent nationwide recall for a popular over-the-counter gas-relief medication due to potential safety risks.
Why the recall is happening
Haleon is pulling specific batches of Gas-X Extra Strength Softgels (125 mg) from store shelves. The 120-count and 72-count packages are being recalled because of potential contamination with an industrial coolant. Officials report that a machine leak during the packaging process caused the issue.
While no adverse reactions have been reported to the company as of June 8, the risks associated with ingesting the contaminated medication include vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Anyone who has taken the affected product and begins to feel unwell should contact a healthcare provider immediately.
