I just found out and called the 800# on the container for Triaminic and they informed me that they are volutarily recalling the following medicines because of a certain ingredient that is causing strokes and seizures in children
Orange 3D Cold and 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.
Exodus 15:26 says: ...."If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee".
If we listen, we will not need those things above.
God Bless.
