Los Angeles, CA: Contract Packaging Resources, a drug repackaging company, is voluntarily recalling 11,640 boxes of Assured brand Naproxen Sodium tablets because some cartons actually contain bottles of Ibuprofen, a different pain reliever. The affected products are: boxes of Assured brand Naproxen Sodium Tablets 220mg, 15 count (Lot #FH4102A) [SKU #122368/UPC #639277223685] containing bottles of Ibuprofen softgels in 200mg strength.
Consumers who intentionally avoid using Ibuprofen due to allergy, or other medical conditions, are advised that they may have inadvertently purchased Ibuprofen 200mg softgels, believing it was Naproxen Sodium 220mg tablets. Allergic reactions can range from mild irritation or hives to serious reactions such as anaphylaxes that may be life-threatening. The firm has not received any reports of adverse events related to this recall.
The recalled Assured brand drug products were distributed nationwide to Dollar Tree and sold via the Dollar Tree retail stores and internet site.
