Label errors spark massive medication recall

CALGARY- A massive recall is underway across the country, due to labelling errors on a number of medications.

Vita Health Products has voluntarily recalled over the counter medicines along with a number of anti-inflammatory, cough and allergy medications, because of labeling irregularities. Some packages suggest they are child-resistant when that is not the case, while others don’t include warnings for people with allergies or existing medical conditions.
