‘Potential foreign material contamination’ in recalled drugs sold only at Costco

A rare not-drugs-in-your-drugs recall hit Costco’s store brand as the manufacturer recalled one lot of Kirkland Signature cold medicine for a “potential foreign material contamination.”

That’s in the recall notice from LNK International, which made Kirkland Signature Severe Cold & Flu Plus Congestion for Costco. The recalled lot is No. P140082. It went to stores in the Midwest and Southeast and was sold between Oct. 30 and Nov. 30.
