The CPSC and Kroger are recalling Kroger aspirin 81 mg delayed-release enteric coated tablets and Kroger Acetaminophen 650mg, 225 count bottles.  These containers are not child-proof, and the federal Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA) requires that aspirin and acetaminophen, the generic for Tylenol, must be sold in containers that children cannot open and swallow the contents.  About 209,430 of the acetaminophen containers and 25,660 of the aspirin containers were sold by Kroger at a variety of retail outlets including: Baker's, City Market, Dillons, Dillons Marketplace, Food 4 Less, FoodsCo, Fred Meyer, Fry's Food And Drug, Fry's Marketplace, Fry's Mercado, Gerbes, JayC, JayC Food Plus, King Soopers, King Soopers Fresh Fare, King Soopers Marketplace, Kroger, Kroger Fresh Fare, Kroger Marketplace, Mariano's, Metro Market, Payless Super Market, Pick 'n Save, Pick 'n Save Marketplace, Smith's, and Smith's Marketplace stores nationwide from August 2021 through March 2022. If you have one of these products, you can return it to your nearest Kroger store or place it out of reach of your kids.  For more information, call Kroger at 1-800-576-4377.
