Generic acetaminophen pills recalled due to possible 'foreign material' | CBC News

An over-the-counter pain reliever is being recalled due to the possible presence of "foreign material" that could harm the digestive system.

Health Canada says the pills from Lot No. 100083040, with the expiration date of Jan. 31, 2029, were supplied to pharmacies in 1,000-count bottles and dispensed to patients in smaller quantities.

The agency says anyone who has used the affected product and has concerns about their health should contact their health-care practitioner, and should report any product-related side effects or complaints to Health Canada.
