Gas-X Extra Strength Softgels 125 mg are under a voluntary nationwide recall for four specific lots of the 120-count and 72-count packages, according to an FDA-posted company announcement. Consumers who bought the softgels on or after April 13, 2026, should check the lot number and stop using the product if it matches the recalled lots.
The June 4 notice covers only the lot numbers listed below. Haleon said no other lots of Gas-X Extra Strength, Gas-X Ultra, Gas-X Maximum or Gas-X Ultimate are impacted by this recall.
Haleon said the affected lots may have been contaminated with a diluted propylene glycol-based coolant because of a machine leak during the packaging process.
The company said ingestion of contaminated softgels could potentially result in nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Haleon said it had not received any reports of adverse events related to the recall as of the announcement.
Consumers should look for the lot number on the Gas-X Extra Strength Softgels package and compare it with the recalled lots.
The recalled product is the Extra Strength Softgels version with simethicone 125 mg. Haleon described the softgels as green capsules sold in packaging with a green band.
Do not rely only on the product name or count size. The recall is tied to specific lot numbers, UPCs and distribution dates.
Anyone who purchased Gas-X Extra Strength Softgels on or after April 13, 2026, should review the lot number. If the lot number matches the recall, Haleon says consumers should stop taking the product immediately.
Haleon says affected consumers should contact its Consumer Relations team at 1-800-245-1040, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET, or email mystory.us@haleon.com to arrange a product return and request reimbursement. Consumers may also use Haleon’s online contact form.
People who believe they experienced a problem related to taking or using the recalled product should contact a physician or other health care provider. Haleon also asks consumers to report adverse events to its Consumer Relations team, and the FDA says quality problems or adverse reactions may be reported through the FDA MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program.
Haleon said it is notifying distributors and customers by letter, email and phone and is arranging for the return of recalled products.
The company said the root cause of the possible contamination has been identified and repaired. Haleon also said corrective and preventive actions have been put in place to prevent the issue from recurring.
The FDA-posted recall notice did not list specific retailers, affected states or the total number of packages involved in this June 4 recall. Consumers should check the FDA recall notice or Haleon’s recall notice for any later updates before using Gas-X Extra Strength Softgels purchased during the affected period.
