recalled. You may want to try calling the 800 number listed on
most drug boxes and inquire about a REFUND. Please read
this CAREFULLY. Also, please pass this on to ! everyone you

***I just found out and called the 800# on the container
for Triaminic and they informed me that they are
voluntarily recalling the following medicines because of a certain
ingredient that is causing strokes and seizures in
children:
Orange 3D Cold & Allergy Cherry (Pink)
3D Cold & Cough Berry
3D Cough Relief Yellow 3D Expectorant
They are asking you to call them at 1-800-548-3708 with the lot number
on
the box so they can send you postage for you to send it back to them,
and
they will also issue you a refund. If you know of anyone else with small
children, PLEASE PASS THIS ON. THIS IS SERIOUS STUFF!
DO PASS ALONG TO ALL ON YOUR MAILING LIST so people
are informed. They can then pass it along to their
families. To confirm these findings please take time to check the
following:
