There's a lot of the same items in this. Mine contained mainly alcohol wipes and bandaids. It's a mess too. You should be able to find things quickly and easily in an emergency. The American Red Cross recommends kits for a family of four include the following:
- 2 absorbent compress dressings (5 x 9 inches)
- 25 adhesive bandages (assorted sizes)
- 1 adhesive cloth tape (10 yards x 1 inch)
- 5 antibiotic ointment packets (approximately 1 gram)
- 5 antiseptic wipe packets
- 2 packets of aspirin (81 mg each)
- 1 blanket (space blanket)
- 1 pocket mask/breathing barrier (with one-way valve)
- 1 instant cold compress
- 2 pair of non-latex gloves (size: large)
- 2 hydrocortisone ointment packets (approximately 1 gram each)
- Scissors
- 1 roller bandage (3 inches wide)
- 1 roller bandage (4 inches wide)
- 5 sterile gauze pads (3 x 3 inches)
- 5 sterile gauze pads (4 x 4 inches)
- Oral thermometer (digital)
- 2 triangular bandages
- Tweezers
- First aid instruction booklet (Read it before you need it!)
My Own Suggestions (add to kit):
- Sterile gloves!
- Some 6" long pre-cut strips of standard kinesiology tape to reduce pain and swelling.
- Antihistamine (Benadryl)
- Injectable epinephrine and/or Asthma inhaler if you require them
- Diarrhea medication (Imodium)
- Anti-nausea medication (Dramamine)
- Emergency contact numbers
- Current list of medications and allergies
- Hemostatic (blood-stopping) gauze
- Liquid bandage
- Sunburn relief gel or spray
- Lubricating eye drops/wash
- Q-tips
- Discuss with your physician first so if you're drug tested at work you have medical documentation... Medical marijuana (CBD) if it's legal in your state. It's legal in some states where THC is not because CBD is not psychoactive. An Indica strain with 25% CBD can do a lot for pain without leaving you addicted to pain killers. Matches and a joint protection tubule should be fine.

There are 196 Band-Aids, 50 of which are the tiny "Junior" Band-Aids. I suppose those Junior Band-Aids can come in handy if you have small kids. Not necessarily for using as Band-Aids but to give them something that makes them feel better. A small badge of Honor, A trophy to show that they've been wounded, even though it's superficial at best.
Also the ibuprofen Aspirin and Tylenol which are listed at 6 each is really just 3 packages of 2 each. It should also be noted that some of the medication expires in a little more than a year. That doesn't really worry me too much though because contrary to Common belief over the counter medication does not get dangerous with age, it just loses potency.
What I wish this kit had is less Band-Aids and was better stocked with the other items. The kit only has 1 trauma pad, 1 4x4 sterile gauze, 1 gauze roll, one burn gel, one set of gloves, and on... I mean if I'm really in a situation where I need a 4x4 gauze, only one is not going to do much for me. I guess I could always put 20 Band-Aids on it and hope it holds.
For the price I paid (under $12) being that it was on sale, I do suppose I got my money's worth. It's a good starting point for someone to build a kit. In order for it to be an excellent kit it will need to be fortified.

Holy Band-Aids Batman!

This kit is well thought-out as far as the different items that are in it. Although 299 pieces is a little deceptive.By The Fix It Guy on February 20, 2017

First aid kit
By Susan sims on November 11, 2017
Did NOT get everything listed check your case when you get it, they must be hoping nobody will check to see if everything they list will be in it. So disappointing. Where you see open spots in the pictures those items I didn’t receive and there were quite a few . The pills I didn’t get enough. No thermometer Etc...

Not scissors pictured
By Amazon Customer on April 27, 2017
Decent general first aid pack. Only issue is it doesn't come with the full-metal scissors pictured. It instead comes with some really cheap plastic handled scissors. For that lapse in as-advertised accuracy I only give it 3 stars.
