Bottles with cracked caps containing Temodar® (Temozolomide) and Temozolomide (generic) capsules
Published August 19, 2015 · Recall initiated: August 18, 2015
What's the hazard
The bottle cap can be cracked which can cause the child-resistant closure to become ineffective to young children who can gain unintended access to the capsules, posing a risk of poisoning.
What to do
Consumers should immediately inspect their bottle caps for cracks. If a crack is found, consumers should contact Merck for a replacement cap. As with all drug products, the bottles should be stored up high, out of sight and reach of young children. Consumers may continue to use the drug as directed.
