Gas-X extra strength softgels are being recalled due to potential contamination from coolant that leaked from a machine during packaging, according to an FDA announcement. Four lots of Gas-X 125 mg in packages of 120 and 72 have been voluntarily recalled by New Jersey-based Haleon, which also owns brands like Advil, Flonase, and Sensodyne. The packs have been on sale to the public since April 13, and all have expiration dates in Nov. 2028. The contaminant has been identified as a diluted propylene glycol-based coolant, which shouldn’t be consumed. People who accidentally consume the coolant are likely to experience nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, according to the FDA. Haleon says it has not received any reports of illnesses related to the recall, though it’s unclear how and when the potential contamination was identified. Anyone who has experienced a negative reaction to the Gas-X medication can report it directly to the FDA at the federal agency’s MedWatch web portal.
Consumers who have purchased Gas-X since April 13, 2026, are encouraged to review the lot numbers that are being recalled: TL8K YH9X YH9Y X78N The company notes that no other forms of Gas-X Extra Strength, Gas-X Ultra, Gas-X Maximum, or Gas-X Ultimate have been impacted by this recall.
