:scratch: The FDA issued a warning on Phenylpropanolamine a long time ago, it hasn't been used in products in years, and the FDA doesn't give refunds on products. Did you get this in an email or something?
 
Thanks Suzie
It's better to be safe then sorry :)

Yes most of these products have been reformulated
or taken off the market _ this is an old article

the refund refered to in the articel says is from
a company _ not the Fed gov ...

just check the labels -
by now they have most likly been all recalled
and new products have been issued ..

I cant live without my Alka seltzer :no:
