The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall on Thursday.
Benadryl Sold Via Amazon Recalled
Benadryl Liquid Elixir in 100 mL bottles have been recalled. The issue is the product contains diphenhydramine, which must be in child-resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act.
"The packaging of the products is not child-resistant, posing a risk of poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children," the CPSC states.
