PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) — Check your medicine cabinet: some Costco-brand cold and flu medicine has been recalled over a possible contamination.

A recall notice on the warehouse chain explains LNK International has recalled certain Kirkland Severe Cold & Flu Plus Congestion over-the-counter caplets. The products, which contain “day” and “night” caplets, were accidentally released after initially being rejected due to a potential foreign material contamination.

The impacted products were sold between Oct. 30, 2024, and Nov. 30, 2024, and have the lot code “P140082” beside the expiration date. LNK provided the below images of the medication.

According to Costco, the over-the-counter medication was distributed to “select locations” in the Midwest and Southeast but no additional information was provided. Costco did not immediately respond to Nexstar’s request for comment.

Individuals who have the recalled medicine are urged to return the item to Costco for a full refund. Those who purchased the impacted cold and flu caplets may receive a notice from LNK, seen here, regarding the recall.

For more information on the recall, contact LNK International Inc. by phone at 1-800-426-9391 or by email at complaints-inquires@lnkintl.com.
