The following medicines are being recalled:

Mucinex Fast-Max Night-Time Cold & Flu,
Mucinex Fast-Max Cold and Sinus,
Mucinex Fast-Max Severe Congestion and Cough and
Mucinex Fast Max Cold, Flu and Sore Throat.

The over-the-counter medications, which correctly label the product on the front of the bottle, may not have all the correct corresponding drug facts labeled on the back, the FDA said.

The mislabeling could cause the consumer to be unaware of side effects and/or risks associated with ingesting the product's ingredients, which include Acetaminophen, Dextromethorphan, Guaifenesin, Phenylephrine and/or Diphenhydramine, according to the FDA.

The voluntary recall is being issued nationwide as a precautionary measure to ensure that costumers have all relevant ingredients, facts and warnings.
