Common Allergy Med May Cause Life-Threatening Reaction: Recall Roundup

Four lots of Cetirizine Hydrochloride (a common antihistamine) are being recalled nationwide because the tablets may contain ranitidine, which can trigger a life-threatening allergic reaction including throat swelling, breathing difficulty, and loss of consciousness. This week’s broader recall roundup also covers nearly 60,000 Evenflo child car seats with crash safety issues, salmonella-risk eggs, Peter Rabbit Organics fruit pouches with possible plastic strands, and over 318,000 vehicles with a fire risk.
