Why it was recalled

Labeling: Label Mix-Up; Bottles of Mucinex Fast-Max liquid are correctly labeled on the front of the label, however the back of the bottle where the Drug Facts labeling is, is missing certain Active Ingredients such as acetaminophen, phenylephrine, dextromethorphan, diphenhydramine, and/or guaifenesin. As a result certain safety warnings associated with those ingredients may also be missing.
