Acetaminophen 500 mg instead of aspirin 81 mg was distributed in a lot of Rugby-label enteric coated aspirin and the manufacturer Advanced Pharmaceutical Inc of Holtsville, NY has issued a voluntary recall after receiving a complaint about the mislabeled drug. Lot 13A026 with an expiration date of January 2015 was distributed nationwide. This OTC product is indicated for temporary relief of minor aches and pains and is packaged in bottles of 120 tablets with NDC 0536-3086-41 and UPC 0536-3086-419. The recall was ordered on June 17 to prevent consumers from inadvertently taking acetaminophen 500 mg that can cause severe liver damage if combined with other acetaminophen products, alcoholic drinks or liver disease.
