Haleon, the maker of Gas-X, has voluntarily recalled four lots of Gas-X Extra Strength Softgels 125 mg after a machine leaking a diluted propylene glycol-based coolant may have contaminated the softgels during the packaging process. The recall was announced June 4, 2026. No adverse health events have been reported. Haleon states the root cause has been identified and repaired, and corrective and preventive actions have been implemented.
What’s Being Recalled?
Four lots of Gas-X Extra Strength Softgels 125 mg in two bottle sizes are included:
Gas-X Extra Strength Softgels 125 mg, 120-count (UPC 300674350419) — lot numbers TL8K, YH9X, and YH9Y, all with an expiration date of November 30, 2028. These lots were distributed April 13 through May 5, 2026.
Gas-X Extra Strength Softgels 125 mg, 72-count (UPC 300439005721) — lot number X78N, expiration date November 30, 2028. Distributed May 5 through May 14, 2026.
The lot number is printed on the bottle. No other Gas-X products or lot numbers are affected, including Gas-X Ultra, Gas-X Maximum Strength, and Gas-X Ultimate.
Why Was This Product Recalled?
During the packaging process, a machine was leaking a diluted propylene glycol-based coolant that may have come into contact with the softgels inside the affected lots. The FDA warns that ingesting softgels contaminated with the coolant could result in nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Propylene glycol is generally considered safe in small food-grade quantities, but its presence in medication via industrial machinery coolant is not an approved or intended use. Haleon has not disclosed the concentration level involved. The company says the issue is fully resolved at the manufacturing level.
What Should You Do?
Check the lot number on any Gas-X Extra Strength Softgels 125 mg bottles in your medicine cabinet. If your bottle is 120-count with lot TL8K, YH9X, or YH9Y, or 72-count with lot X78N, stop taking the product immediately. Contact Haleon through the contact form at haleon.help/en-us/contact-form for return and reimbursement instructions. If you have already taken the recalled softgels and are experiencing nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or diarrhea, contact your healthcare provider. Note that these symptoms overlap with the digestive discomfort Gas-X is typically taken to relieve — so consumers who experienced GI symptoms after taking the recalled product should consider whether the medication itself may have been the cause.
