Americans deserve to know when the products they trust to combat illness and maintain their health may pose hidden dangers.

Costco’s recent recall of its Kirkland Signature Severe Cold & Flu Plus Congestion medications due to potential contamination highlights these potential risks.

With foreign materials suspected, customers must act promptly to secure their safety.

The recall targets products with lot code P140082 due to contamination concerns.

Affected items were sold between October 30 and November 30, 2024.

Contaminants remain unspecified, yet the company has taken steps to protect consumers.

The medication was manufactured by LNK International Inc., based in New York.

They mistakenly shipped the affected products.

As a cautionary measure, Costco urges customers to return the medication for a full refund. No injuries or illnesses have been reported due to this mistake.

“Costco is recalling a specific cold and flu medication sold in its stores due to the risk of contamination by foreign objects,” reports WPTV.

This recall follows other safety actions by Costco, such as a recall of over 10,000 cartons of eggs due to salmonella.

The increasing flu infections in the U.S. heighten awareness on product safety. The CDC reported over 5.3 million flu illnesses in the current season.

“Customers should avoid using any remaining products with the specified lot code. Return the product to Costco for a refund. For inquiries, contact LNK International at 1-800-426-9391 or [email protected],” Costco said.

As consumers scuttle to return the tainted products, it raises questions about overall product safety.

Costco’s proactive steps to recall the medication should be a norm, not an exception, in protecting health and consumer trust.
