“GSK Theraflu Cough Relief: Missing Sodium Warning Label.” GovInfoNow, updated October 5, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/37497-gsk-theraflu-cough-relief-missing-sodium-warning-label. Based on FDA recall #D-0996-2020 (https://api.fda.gov/drug/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22D-0996-2020%22&limit=1).

Why it’s dangerous

The product label does not include a warning that people on sodium-restricted diets should consult a doctor before use. This could result in unsafe consumption if the product is taken without proper medical guidance.

Who’s affected

People who have a sodium-restricted diet and use the recalled Theraflu Cough Relief products may be at risk. Those with specific dietary restrictions should check their product labels.

How to tell if you have this one

Check for the NDC carton code 0067-6089-01 or packet code 0067-6089-03, and expiration dates up to March 31, 2021 or May 31, 2021. The product was distributed by GSK Consumer Healthcare in Warren, NJ.
