(WAND) - The medication Gas-X has been recalled nationwide because it may be contaminated with chemicals.Â
The recall, from Gas-X maker Haleon, was announced by the Food and Drug Administration June 4. Four lots of 125 mg Gas-X Extra Strength Softgels were recalled in pill bottles of 120 ct. and 72 ct.
According to the recall, the drugs were recalled due to "potential chemical contamination." The lots may have come in contact with a "diluted propylene glycol-based coolant" that was leaking from a machine during the packaging process.
"There is a potential that ingestion of the Softgels contaminated with the diluted propylene glycol-based coolant may result in adverse events such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea," the FDA said. To date, no reports of adverse health effects were received.
The recall applies only to the Gas-X products in the table below. No other lots of Gas-X Extra Strength, Gas-X Ultra, Gas-X Maximum and Gas-X Ultimate were impacted.

The FDA says Haleon is notifying distributors that received the recalled drugs and is arranging for returns. Any customers that purchased the products matching the lot number are urged to stop taking the pills immediately and contact the company for return and reimbursement.
Haleon also makes popular medicines such as Advil, Theraflu and Tums.
