Aller Relief Chinese Herbal Remedy is used to alleviate symptoms associated with the
common cold and
flu.
In January 2001 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a recall of Aller Relief bottles marked with lot numbers 003480 and 0006480. The FDA found that the product contained
aristolochic acid. Aristolochic acid has been shown to cause
cancer and
kidney failure. Aller Relief has subsequently been reformulated to exclude all aristolochic acid.
It may be important to see your doctor if you have taken aristolochic acid contaminated Aller Relief Chinese Herbal Remedy. In addition, it may be important to
contact an attorney who can help you protect your legal rights. Please keep in mind that there may be
time limits within which you must commence suit.
