Pharmaceutical giant Haleon announced that it is recalling multiple lots and strengths of its over-the-counter anti-bloating medication Gas-X, according to a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) notice published June 4.

The impacted products may have been contaminated “with a diluted propylene glycol-based coolant from a machine leakage during the packaging process,” the notice stated.
