recalled. You may want to try calling the 800 number listed on 
most drug boxes and inquire about a REFUND.. 
Please read this CAREFULLY. Also, please pass this on 
to everyone you know. 

STOP TAKING anything containing this ingredient. It 
has been linked to increased hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding in 
brain) among women ages 18-49 in the three days after starting 
use of medication. Problems were not found in men, but the FDA 
recommended that everyone (even children) seek alternative medicine.

I just found out and called the 800# on the container 
for Triaminic and they informed me that they are 
voluntarily recalling the following medicines because 
of a certain ingredient that is causing strokes and 
seizures in children: 

Orange 3D Cold &Allergy Cherry (Pink) 
3D Cold &Cough Berry 
3D Cough Relief Yellow 3D Expectorant 

They are asking you to call them at 800-548-3708 with 
the lot number on the box so they can send you postage for you 
to send it back to them, and they will also issue you a refund. 
If you know of anyone else with small children, PLEASE PASS THIS ON. 

THIS  IS SERIOUS STUFF! 

DO PASS ALONG TO ALL ON YOUR MAILING LIST so people are informed. 
They can then pass it along to their families.
