Buckley’s Tastes Bad, But That May Be The Least Of Your Worries

Got a cold? Are you taking Buckley’s? there’s a voluntary recall of several Buckley’s products due to a choking hazard. Health Canada says a defect with the plastic seal could case pieces to fall into the bottle.

Products affected:

• Buckley’s Complete, DIN 02279703, 150 & 250mL
• Buckley’s Complete Mucus Relief, DIN 02357232, 150 & 250mL

• Buckley’s Original Mixture, NPN 02239538, 100 & 200mL
• Buckley’s Original Mixture Night Time, DIN 02230939, 100mL

Buckley’s Jack and Jill children’s syrup is not part of the recall as it uses a different seal

Here’s what you should do:

• According to GSK Consumer Healthcare Inc., consumers should follow the dosing instructions listed on the label. Do not drink directly from the bottle. Pour the syrup into a teaspoon and check for the plastic seal before consuming.
• Consult with your health care professional if you have used these products and have health concerns.
