PARSIPPANY, NJ - A New Jersey drug manufacturer has recalled certain bottles of Mucinex liquid cold and sinus remedies.

RB is recalling FAST-MAX® Night Time Cold & Flu; MUCINEX® FAST-MAX® Cold & Sinus; MUCINEX® FAST-MAX® Severe Congestion & Cough and MUCINEX® FAST-MAX® Cold, Flu & Sore Throat because the over-the-counter medications, which correctly label the product on the front of the bottle and lists all active ingredients, may not have the correct corresponding drug facts label on the back.

The manufacturer says that the mislabeling could cause the consumer to be unaware of side effects or risks associated with the ingestion of certain product ingredients which include Acetaminophen, Dextromethorphan, Guaifenesin, Phenylephrine and/or Diphenhydramine.

People who take the product would not be adequately warned of side effects which could potentially lead to health complications requiring urgent medical intervention, particularly in the case of acetaminophen use in people with liver impairment, taking three or more alcoholic drinks or when taking other medicines containing this active ingredient without consulting a doctor.

As a precautionary measure, RB is asking consumers to dispose of any unused product in accordance with the following recommended guidance for drug disposal:

Mix liquid medicines with an unpalatable substance such as kitty litter or used coffee grounds;

Place the mixture in a container such as a sealed plastic bag and throw the container into the household trash.
