Costco has urgently recalled cold and flu medicines citing a 'potential foreign material contamination' accidentally shipped across the U.S.
The retailer released a statement warning consumers who had bought Kirkland Signature Severe Cold & Flu Plus Congestion medication from stores in the Midwest and Southeast of the country.
'Out of an abundance of caution, LNK has initiated a recall for the accidental release and shipment of a specific lot code that was rejected due to potential foreign material contamination,' the statement read.
Costco urged customers not to use any remaining product marked with lot code P140082.
The statement assured that customers would be eligible for a full refund if they return the item to their local store.
People who bought the medication between October 30 and November 30 were urged to check the boxes.
