WASHINGTON, DC (WICS/WRSP) — A blood pressure medicine that has dealt with at least four recalls this year is facing yet another. This time, the recall is not due to a possible cancer-causing carcinogen.

Sandoz Global is recalling 636,000 Losartan Potassium and Ezetimibe prescription drug bottles in U.S.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says the bottles fail to meet child-resistant closure requirements, posing a poisoning risk if swallowed by children.

Consumers are advised to immediately secure the medications to keep them out of the sight and reach of children and contact Sandoz for a free replacement child-resistant bottle cap.

The affected bottles were sold at clinics and pharmacies nationwide as a prescribed medicine from July 2018 through August 2019.

So far, no injuries have been reported in relation to this recall.
