| |
Health Canada announces that GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare ULC is recalling one lot of TUMS Peppermint Regular Strength tablets (calcium carbonate 500mg) (lot number: HA7H) after some tablets were found to contain fragments of fibreglass and other material, including paper and aluminum foil. The product is sold in a package of three rolls containing 12 tablets each. TUMS is an antacid indicated for adult use to relieve indigestion and heartburn caused by too much acid in the stomach.
If consumed, the fragments should pass through most people's digestive systems with no concern. However, elderly people and people who have narrow areas in their intestines because of disease or surgery may be at risk of injury.
