Arsell Inc. has recalled 100 milliliter (mL) bottles of the allergy medication Benadryl Liquid Elixir because the packaging isn’t childproof and poses a risk of poisoning if the medicine is swallowed by young children, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced on March 20.

The recalled Benadryl, which contains diphenhydramine, was sold on Amazon.com between July 2023 and October 2024. Arsell recalled about 2,300 bottles.

The recalled Benadryl Liquid Elixir came in a 100 mL round dark plastic bottle with a pink and white label on the front with the word “Benadryl” in blue text. The product was packaged in a pink and white paper box with the word “Benadryl” written in blue text. It has a white label on the bottom with the following code written in black text: “X003VRIGUL.”

No injuries have been reported related to this recall.

If you have the recalled Benadryl, you should immediately throw it away, out of the sight and reach of children, CPSC said.

You can contact Arsell for a full refund at recall@arsellsupport.com. To issue the refund, the company is asking for the Amazon order number and a photo showing disposal of the bottle.
