Here
it is-
Subject: All drugs containing PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE
All
drugs containing
PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE are being recalled.
You
may want to try calling the 800 number listed on most
drug boxes and inquire about a REFUND.
Please read this CAREFULLY. Also, please pass this on
to everyone you know.
STOP TAKING anything containing this ingredient. It has
been linked to increased hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding
in brain) among women ages 18-49 in the three days after
starting use of medication. Problems were not found in
men, but the FDA recommended that everyone (even children)
seek alternative medicine.

I just found out and called the 800# on the container
for Triaminic and they informed me that they are voluntarily
recalling the following medicines because of a certain
ingredient that is causing strokes and seizures in children:
Orange 3D Cold & Allergy Cherry (Pink)
3D Cold & Cough Berry
3D Cough Relief Yellow 3D Expectorant
They are asking you to call them at 800-548-3708 with
the lot number on the box so they can send you postage
for you to send it back to them, and they will also issue
you a refund.
If you know of anyone else with small children, PLEASE
PASS THIS ON.
THIS IS SERIOUS STUFF!
DO PASS ALONG TO ALL ON YOUR MAILING LIST so people
are informed.
They can then pass it along to their families.
To confirm these findings please take time to check the
