According to a Thursday notice from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, manufacturing company Haleon has voluntarily recalled<\/a> four lots of Gas-X Extra Strength Softgels, which were distributed to different retailers nationwide. <\/p>\n \u201cThe lots are being recalled due to potential contamination<\/a> with a diluted propylene glycol-based coolant from a machine leakage during the packaging process,\u201d the company said in an announcement shared by the FDA. <\/p>\n \u201cThere is a potential that ingestion of the Softgels contaminated with the diluted propylene glycol-based coolant may result in adverse events <\/a>such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea.\u201d<\/p>\n Affected Gas-X Extra Strength Softgels \u2014 made to quickly break up gas bubbles in the digestive tract and relieve pressure, bloating and discomfort \u2014 are green capsules sold in 72-count and 120-count packages.<\/p>\n The 120-count product was distributed between April 13 and May 5, 2026, and had the UPC 300674350419 and Expiry Date of November 30, 2028. They can also be identified by the following Lot numbers: TL8K, YH9X and YH9Y. <\/p>\n The 72-count softgels have the UPC 300439005721, Lot number X78N and Expiry Date of November 20, 2028. They were distributed between May 5 and May 14, 2026. <\/p>\n While Haleon has not received any reports of adverse events to date, consumers are urged to stop taking the recalled product immediately. Shoppers should contact Haleon Consumer Relations \u2014 via phone, email or on the company\u2019s online contact form, all found here<\/a> \u2014 to return the product and request reimbursement. <\/p>\n The Gas-X Extra Strength Softgels are among the many products that have been recalled across the U.S. in recent months. Earlier this week, Target recalled two<\/a> variations of its Up & Up brand baby wipes after potentially harmful bacteria was discovered during routine testing.<\/p>\n According to an announcement shared by the FDA, multiple customers who bought the wipes had complained to Target and the product\u2019s manufacturer, Sapro Temizlik Urunleri, about discoloration and symptoms including skin irritation, eye irritation and infections. Simultaneously, the FDA conducted product testing that \u201cidentified the presence of Burkholderia cepacia complex and Burkholderia gladioli,\u201d two bacteria that could cause life-threatening infections. <\/p>\n Last month, Pharmacal recalled one lot of its MG217 Multi-symptom Treatment Cream & Skin Protectant Eczema Cream because it was contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus, a bacterium that can cause skin issues<\/a>. Affected creams were sold in six-ounce tubes at various retailers in the U.S. and on Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/MixCollage-06-Jun-2026-11-53-AM-1218.jpeg\")
