Not said Made Mar 3, 2014, sent to the company Mar 11, 2014, published by CPSC Mar 26, 2014
The product, in the report: REXAM prescription containers. One has T40 and 17B on the bottom and the other has T-16 and 24A on the bottom.
We have had several medication containers from local pharmacies (Costco) and veterinary clinics, and all containers are manufactured by Rexam. They are all the type of child proof top that you must push down and turn. Almost every single one over the last several months loses its child proofing prior to the 30-day supply of medication being used. After being opened numerous times, the child proofing plastic tabs wear down and you no longer have to push down and turn to open but merely turn. The two size containers we use have T-40 and 17B on the bottom of one and T-16 and 24A on the other.

Hospital admission Made Sep 18, 2012, sent to the company Nov 2, 2012, published by CPSC Nov 26, 2012
The product, in the report: Prescription Bottles labeled “Child Proof”
Referred by [REDACTED] at the FDA. Caller filled her prescriptions on 08/27/2012 with what she believed to be “child proof” containers, however on 09/09/2012 the caller’s 2yr old son was able to open a prescription bottle that is labeled “child proof”. Directions were to “push down and turn”, he did not have to push down, only to turn it.
The prescription in the bottle was Lisinopril, the baby took anywhere between two and four pills, digested them.
Caller saw that the baby had spit up, she and her husband drove to Richland Turner Hospital and then transferred by ambulance to the Children’s Hospital at UW Medicine where he was admitted him into the intensive care unit for monitoring while raising his blood pressure which was lowered by the medicine.
He was given saline solution at the Children’s Hospital to offset the affects of the charcoal given to him at Richland Turner.
He was kept overnight and then released to go home.
Caller is reporting this as a severe safety hazard due to the fact that the container was packaged as a child proof container when it was not child proof.
She refilled her prescriptions again on 09/10/2012, asked again for child proof containers after emergency situation with baby after previous refill but then after five or six openings of bottles caller states that they also are opening with ony a turn motion.
