Mucinex issues recall for mislabeled liquid bottles

Thursday, April 23, 2015
The company that makes Mucinex has issued a voluntary recall of certain lots of its products because of incorrectly labeled drug facts.

The recall was for the liquid bottles of Mucinex Fast-Max Night Time Cold & Flu, Mucinex Fast-Max Cold & Sinus, Mucinex Fast-Max Severe Congestion & Cugh and Mucinex Fast-Max Cold, Flu & Sore Throat.

A retailer confirmed that although the labels on the front of the bottle listing all the active ingredients were correct, the label on the back may have the wrong drug facts.
