On June 19, 2006, Novartis Consumer Health announced a nationwide voluntary recall of all Vapor Patch products marketed under the Triaminic brand due to the serious adverse and life-threatening health effects that could result if the product is ingested by the child removing the patch and chewing on it.

What is the Problem?

The Triaminic Vapor Patch Recall effects all lots and product lines of mentholated cherry scent and menthol scent. The products contain camphor, eucalyptus oil and menthol, which have been linked to the following serious side effects:

• burning sensation in the mouth
• headache
• nausea and vomiting
• seizures

Consumers who have Triaminic Vapor Patches should stop using them immediately.

There have been multiple reports of children users removing the path and chewing on it, subsequently developing some of the side effects listed above, including seizures.

Why are children chewing on the Triaminic Patches?

The Triaminic Vapor Patch is a cough suppressant product used by children two years of age and older. The package insert indicates that the patch is to be applied to the throat or chest to allow the vapors produced to reach the nose and mouth. The information provided by the manufacturer also indicates that multiple patches can be applied. Once applied, the patch will be within close reach for a child to remove and place in his or her mouth. The Vapor Patch is a topical cough product applied externally and not for oral consumption.
