Alka-Seltzer Plus products recalled due to labeling error

Bayer is voluntarily recalling Alka-Seltzer Plus packages because the ingredients listed on the package may not match the actual product in the carton.

The products are "intended to temporarily relieve symptoms associated with cold and flu, such as cough, congestion, fever and/or mucus."

In a statement issued by Bayer, "This may lead consumers to ingest a product to which they may have an allergy or anaphylactic reaction, an ingredient which may be contraindicated for their medical condition or they intend to otherwise avoid. There may be potential for serious health consequences. To date, no complaint has been received that resulted in an adverse health consequence."

The products were sold at Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, Kroger, Dillons Food Stores, Fred Meyer, Fry's Food Stores, Ralphs, King Soopers and Smith's Food and Drug after February 9, 2018.

The affected packages can be identified by checking the Bayer logo on the lower left corner of the carton. If the logo has an orange or green background, the product is included in the recall.

"Consumers who purchased packages of Alka-Seltzer Plus that are being recalled should stop using the product and contact Bayer with questions, to report any issues experienced or for instructions about how to receive a refund."
