Dear Peach State Member,

 On April 30, 2010 there was a recall on some over-the-counter (OTC) medicines. The recalled OTC medicine is for Children and Infants. They are being recalled because some of them may not meet certain standards.

 There was a meeting on May 4, 2010 to review the recall letter. The letter stated: 

• Some of the products may have a higher level of an active ingredient.
• Some of the products may have inactive ingredients that may not meet testing guidelines.
• Others may have tiny pieces that do not belong.
• There is not a great possibility for serious illness or injury. 
• STOP using the medicine and throw it out[1]. 

The recall is not in response to a serious illness. But we want to prevent a serious illness.  Parents and caregivers should NOT give these products to their children.  Click here for a list of the recalled products. 

If you have any questions please call the Member Services Department at (800) 704-1484. If you are hearing impaired call (800) 659-7487. 

Sincerely, 

Peach State Health Plan
