Eating the contaminated softgels could cause nausea, vomiting, stomach pain and diarrhea, the company said. Haleon said it has not received any reports of people getting sick from the recalled bottles.
The recall covers 120 ct. and 72 ct. bottles with specific lot numbers. The 120 ct. bottles with lot numbers TL8K, YH9X and YH9Y, and 72 ct. bottles with lot number X78N are affected. All have an expiration date of Nov. 30, 2028. No other Gas-X products were impacted.
If you bought Gas-X Extra Strength Softgels on or after April 13, the company said to check the lot number on your bottle. If it matches, stop taking it and contact Haleon for a refund. Anyone who feels sick should contact their doctor.
Haleon said the source of the contamination has been fixed and steps have been taken to prevent it from happening again.
