(CNN) — About 700,000 units of Vicks Dayquil cold medicine were recalled Friday after a finding that the packaging was not child-proof, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The recall affects Vicks Dayquil Cold & Flu 24-Count Bonus Pack Liquicaps with the UPC no. 3 23900 01087 1, according to the product safety group. The medicine was sold between September 2008 and December 2009.

The packaging — which is not child-resistant and lacks the statement, “This package for households without young children” — should be kept out of the reach of young children. If a child swallows several of the pills, the child could suffer “serious health problems or death,” the commission said.
