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:

1.. Orange 3D Cold & Allergy Cherry (Pink)

2.. 3D Cold & Cough Berry

3.. 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.

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.

To confirm these findings please take time to check the following:
