Costco has issued a recall this week for a Kirkland Signature cold and flu medicine due to “potential contamination with foreign materials.” The recall involves Kirkland Signature Severe Cold & Flu Plus Congestion, item number #1729556, with lot code P140082.
The affected product was reportedly sold at select Costco locations in the Midwest and Southeast regions between October 30 and November 30, 2024.
According to a notice posted on Costco’s website, the recall was initiated by the manufacturer, LNK International Inc., “out of an abundance of caution” after the accidental release of a rejected batch. Customers are advised not to use any remaining product with the specified lot code and to return it to Costco for a full refund.
For further information or to report concerns, customers can contact LNK International at 1-800-426-9391 or via email at complaints-inquiries@lnkintl.com.
Earlier this year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a recall for nearly 80,000 pounds of Kirkland Signature Sweet Cream Butter, produced in Texas for Costco, due to an allergen labeling issue.
The recall, classified as Class II, was announced on November 7 and affects 79,200 pounds of both salted and unsalted varieties of the butter.
According to the FDA, while the product packaging lists “cream” as an ingredient, it fails to include the “Contains Milk” allergy warning required for those with milk allergies.
Kirkland Signature is Costco’s private label, and this butter is manufactured by Continental Dairy Facilities Southwest, LLC. The recalled items were produced and distributed in Texas.
