Recall of Influend Cough and Cold Products

By Oguz Ozdemir

On April 16, 2009, ION Labs, makers of Influend Cough and Cold products, along with the Food and Drug Administration recalled all of their products that were sold on or after May 30, 2008. The cough and cold products were shown to be possibly super potent and could result in a number of complications.

Minor complications included anxiety, dizziness, headaches, restlessness and nervousness. More severe and serious side effects that were possible are tachycardia, palpitations, arrhythmias, and cardiovascular collapse.

If you have any of these cold and cough products in your possession, do not take them any longer and contact your physician immediately if you have experienced any of the side effects listed above whether they were serious in nature or just mildly uncomfortable, such as a headache or nervousness.

ION Labs Inc. is located in Clearwater, Florida and voluntarily recalled the products when it was found that the cold medications were not tested in conformance with set specifications set by the lab. As a result of not meeting these standards the products could possibly be more potent than they normally are so the dosage could be incorrect.

The products were sold in the Madison and Huntsville areas of Alabama. The recalled products are:

• Influend Cold and Cough, 24 Tablets, Product Code/ Lot # 800074
• Influend Severe Cold & Flu, 24 Tablets, Product Code/Lot# 800075
• Influend JR. Cold & Cough, 4 oz. bottle, Product Code/Lot# 800076
• Influend JR. Severe Cold & Flu, 4 oz. bottle, Product Code/Lot# 800077

ION has not reported any illnesses or side effects from the use of these cold medications to date the company is concerned with the safety of their products and has ceased production of them until further notice
