Liquid NyQuil Recalled Due to Insanitary Conditions at Distribution Center

Gold Star Distribution Inc recalls all lots of Liquid NyQuil (regular and cherry, 12/8oz bottles) distributed nationwide due to insanitary conditions and rodent exposure at their distribution facility.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The FDA classified this as a Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. While CGMP deviations involving insanitary conditions and rodent exposure represent a potential contamination risk, the absence of reported harm and the Class II designation indicate this is a precautionary recall.
