What should you do? A recall doesn't always mean your specific bottle is affected - it often applies to certain lots only. Check the lot number on your package against the FDA notice, and talk to your pharmacist before stopping any medication.
Reason Labeling: Label Mix-up. This issue affects the outer box labeling only. The box incorrectly states the ingredients Acetaminophen 500mg and Caffeine 65mg. The inner pouch correctly states the ingredients are Aspirin (NSAID)*500mg and Caffeine 32.5mg.
