Several over-the-counter drugs recalled over non-childproof packaging - New York Post

-

Several PhysiciansCare brand over-the-counter drugs have been recalled because the packaging is not child resistant, according to an independent federal regulatory agency. 

Acme United Corp.'s recall includes 165,000 units of PhysiciansCare Aspirin, Extra Strength Non Aspirin, Extra Strength Pain Reliever, Ibuprofen, Medication Station and Multi-Pack over-the-counter drugs, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.  

The recalled products, which contain regulated substances, "must be in child resistant packaging when being used in the household as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA)," according to the recall notice. 

Under the PPPA, packaging "must be designed or constructed to be significantly difficult for children under five years of age to open within a reasonable time, and not difficult for normal adults to use properly," according to the CPSC. 

However, the packaging for the products did not meet this standard, "posing a risk of poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children," the CPSC said.

The products were available to consumers online through Amazon.com and FSAstore.com from February 2014 through June 2021.

The 'golf ball-sized tumor', which had spread throughout her face, was first mistaken for a sinus infection by the woman's doctors.  Annika, who posts about her condition on TikTok, woke up one morning in 2023 and noticed that the inner corner of her right eye was sore.  While she at first thought nothing of it, by the time the evening rolled around, 'my face started to really, really hurt on the right side,' she said in a video.  The next day, her

Having This One Particular Blood Type Can Help Protect You From Severe Malaria - ScienceAlert

Nearly  half the world's population is at risk of malaria, one of the most deadly diseases known to humankind. Each year it claims  over 400,000 lives, most of whom are children younger than age five. While it's possible to vaccinate against malaria, virtually all of these cases are in the African region, where protection is often nothing more than a roll of the dice. Now, a recent  analysis  of 23 papers suggests those with blood type O have the genetic odds stacked in their favour. In sub-Saharan Africa, where severe malaria - caused by the  Plasmodium falciparum  parasite  - is endemic, there are far more individuals with blood type O than anywhere in Europe or the US. In Nigeria alone, where 97 percent of the country is at risk of malaria, more than half the population belongs to this blood group. In Ethiopia and many others, the numbers are similar. Rather than a coincidence, co-author and epidemiologist Abraham Degarege Mengist from Robert Stempel College of Publi
