Morphine is an opioid used to treat moderate to severe pain. It can be habit-forming, leading to addiction, overdose and, in some severe cases, death.

The Food and Drug Administration advises consumers to contact a physician immediately if they experience any negative side effects after using the product.

Consumers can return the product to the original purchase location for a full refund.
