Haleon Recalls Gas-X Extra Strength Softgels 125mg Over Contamination 2026

Haleon has announced a voluntary nationwide recall of four lots of Gas-X Extra Strength Softgels 125mg, available in 120-count and 72-count packages, distributed on or about April 13, 2026 to the consumer level. The recall was issued due to potential contamination with a diluted propylene glycol-based coolant that leaked from a machine during the packaging process. This action is being conducted with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

What Products Are Being Recalled?

The recall affects the following specific lots of Gas-X Extra Strength Softgels 125mg:

• Gas-X Extra Strength Softgels (120 ct.) — UPC: 300674350419 — Lot Numbers: TL8K, YH9X, YH9Y — Expiry: 30 Nov 2028 — Distributed: April 13 to May 5, 2026
• Gas-X Extra Strength Softgels (72 ct.) — UPC: 300439005721 — Lot Number: X78N — Expiry: 30 Nov 2028 — Distributed: May 5 to May 14, 2026

The affected softgels are identifiable as a green capsule found in packaging with a green band. No other lots of Gas-X Extra Strength, Gas-X Ultra, Gas-X Maximum, or Gas-X Ultimate are impacted by this recall.

Why Was This Recall Issued?

The recall was triggered after it was discovered that a machine used during the packaging process leaked a diluted propylene glycol-based coolant, potentially contaminating the softgels. Propylene glycol-based coolants are industrial fluids not intended for human consumption, and their presence in an over-the-counter medication represents a product quality failure that prompted immediate voluntary action by Haleon.

According to the company, the root cause of the contamination has been identified and repaired. Corrective and preventative measures have been implemented to prevent any future recurrence of this issue.

Who Is Affected?

Consumers across the United States who purchased Gas-X Extra Strength Softgels on or after April 13, 2026, may be affected. Specifically, individuals who purchased the 120-count or 72-count packages with the lot numbers TL8K, YH9X, YH9Y, or X78N are advised to take immediate action. These products were distributed to the consumer level and may be present in households, retail stores, and pharmacy shelves nationwide.

Gas-X Extra Strength Softgels are used to relieve gas pressure, bloating, and discomfort by breaking up gas bubbles in the digestive tract. Consumers who regularly use this product for digestive relief are urged to check their packaging immediately.
