Haleon recalls – Haleon is voluntarily recalling four lots of Gas-X Extra Strength Softgels, distributed nationwide between April 13 and May 14, 2026, after a packaging machine issue may have allowed diluted propylene glycol-based coolant to drip into some bottles.
A bottle of Gas-X sits innocently in a medicine cabinet—until the lot number on the label becomes a red flag. Haleon has issued a voluntary recall for specific batches of Gas-X Extra Strength Softgels after the company said a packaging problem could have contaminated the medication.
The recall, announced in a June 4 notice posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, involves four lots of Gas-X Extra Strength Softgels, 125 mg, sold in 120-count and 72-count bottles. The company said the products were distributed beginning around April 13, 2026, and were pulled after potential contamination during the packaging process.
The issue. Haleon said. stemmed from machine leakage that may have caused diluted propylene glycol-based coolant to drip into medication bottles. Propylene glycol is described as a colorless, mostly odorless liquid used in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and industrial applications. It is considered safe in small. regulated amounts. but the FDA warned that if softgels are contaminated with the substance. it could cause symptoms such as nausea. vomiting. abdominal pain. and diarrhea.
So far, Haleon said it has not received reports of illness.
The recall covers products designed to relieve gas-related pressure, bloating, stomach discomfort, and indigestion. The affected Gas-X bottles are described as having green capsules and green-banded packaging. No other Gas-X products are included.
Four lots of Gas-X Extra Strength Softgels are impacted. In the 120-count size, the UPC is 300674350419, with lot numbers TL8K, YH9X, and YH9Y. The expiration date is Nov. 30, 2028. Haleon said these were distributed from April 13 through May 5, 2026.
In the 72-count size, the UPC is 300439005721, with lot number X78N and an expiration date of Nov. 30, 2028. Those bottles were distributed from May 5 through May 14, 2026.
Haleon said no other Gas-X products are affected, including Gas-X Ultra, Gas-X Maximum, and Gas-X Ultimate.
For consumers, the instruction is direct: check the lot number and stop using any matching Gas-X Extra Strength Softgels immediately. Haleon is notifying distributors and retailers by phone, email, and letter, and is arranging product returns. The company also set up a reimbursement and replacement pathway for people who purchased the recalled softgels during the distribution window.
Consumers can contact Haleon Consumer Relations by calling 1-800-245-1040. emailing mystory.us@haleon.com. or using the company’s online contact form to arrange returns and request reimbursement. If symptoms occur—particularly nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or diarrhea—Haleon said people should consult a healthcare provider.
The company said it has already moved to remove the affected product from distribution. and the recall is limited to the specific lots and sizes listed in the FDA notice. Still, the basic takeaway is clear: the right product name isn’t enough. The lot number is what determines whether a bottle is part of this recall.
