CVS Products Recalled Nationwide: Full List of Items Impacted

Multiple recalls for products on CVS Pharmacy shelves were recently initiated due to risk of microbial contamination, choking hazards and more.

Newsweek has listed the nonprescription products recalled from the retailer so far this year, per a post on its website.

A CVS spokesperson told Newsweek that they have a "robust product testing program" and work with regulatory bodies to ensure safety standards are "met or exceeded."

Why It Matters

Using recalled pharmaceutical products or consuming recalled food items can result in serious health risks.

Recalls can be issued for myriad reasons, from incorrect packaging to potentially dangerous contaminations.

What People Are Saying

The CVS spokesperson told Newsweek: "We work with manufacturers and regulatory agencies, such as the FDA, to ensure all quality and safety standards are met or exceeded. In addition, we have a robust product testing program and conduct an average of 350 tests a day to help ensure the safety, efficacy, performance and compliance of our store brand products."

CVS Pharmacy in a statement on its website: "At CVS Pharmacy, we are committed to offering products that are safe, high quality, meet our customers' health and wellness needs, and comply with laws and regulations. The health and safety of our customers is our top priority."

It added: "In the event of a product recall or withdrawal, CVS Pharmacy works quickly to prevent the item from being sold and to remove it from distribution. Customers who have purchased a recalled item are provided instructions about how to handle the item and how to receive a full refund."

In an email to Newsweek last month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said: "Most recalls in the U.S. are carried out voluntarily by the product manufacturer and when a company issues a public warning, typically via news release, to inform the public of a voluntary product recall, the FDA shares that release on our website as a public service."

What Happens Next?

Organizations such as the FDA and Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) update product recall notices on their respective websites regularly.

Newsweek has also compiled a list of products recalled from Walmart shelves as of February 4 as well as a full list of FDA and FSIS recalls in January.
