TOPEKA (KSNT) – A series of medication tablets have been recalled from Kansas stores and homes for poisoning risk to children.
According to a recall alert from Kroger, several medication products have been recalled because they do not have a child-resistant closure and they do not have the words, “THIS PACKAGE FOR HOUSEHOLDS WITHOUT YOUNG CHILDREN” printed on them.
