A recent voluntary recall has been announced for Kirkland Signature brand Severe Cold & Flu Plus Congestion medication due to possible contamination. The recall was initiated by a major US wholesale retailer, Costco, and customers were notified through a letter on Thursday. The affected product was sold between October 30 and November 30 of last year.
The manufacturer, LNK International, Inc, explained in the letter that the recall was necessary due to the accidental release and shipment of a specific lot code that was rejected for potential foreign material contamination. No further details were provided, and it is unclear if anyone has been affected by the contaminated medication.
This is not the first time Costco has issued a recall in recent months. The affected items have the lot code P140082 and customers are advised to return them to their local Costco for a full refund. LNK International, Inc has also urged customers with any concerns or issues to contact them directly.
According to their LinkedIn page, LNK International is a private company based in Hauppauge, New York that produces both solid and liquid over-the-counter pharmaceuticals for private label programs. As a membership-only wholesale retailer, Costco is known for offering a variety of items at discounted prices.
This recall comes on the heels of another recall by Costco. Just a few weeks ago, Handsome Brook Farms voluntarily recalled about 10,800 retail units of its Organic Pasture Raised 24-Count Eggs sold under the Kirkland Signature brand. These eggs were distributed to 25 Costco stores and were possibly contaminated with Salmonella, according to the US Food and Drug Administration.
The FDA has since upgraded the eggs' alert level to Class I, the most serious risk level. This means that there is a reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences or even death from using or being exposed to the contaminated product.
This is not the first time Costco has had to issue a recall for their Kirkland Signature brand products. In October, they recalled their Smoked Salmon due to possible listeria contamination, and in November, they recalled 79,200 pounds of Kirkland Signature butter because the labels failed to mention that it contained milk.
Despite these recent recalls, Costco remains a popular membership-only warehouse club chain that offers a wide range of products at discounted prices. Customers can continue to shop with confidence knowing that Costco takes the safety and quality of their products seriously.
