Mom Alert – Infant & Children Tylenol Recall
September 25th, 2009. By AbiK
If you’re like m
e, you’ve already started to stockpile the usual meds for cold and flu and fever season. With kids back to school, back to daycare, and with all the frenzy over potential flu outbreaks, it’s almost a necessity. But check your medicine cabinets for this one: Johnson & Johnson’s McNeil division has voluntarily recalled 57 lots of infants’ and children’s liquid Tylenol products because of possible bacterial contamination.
According to J&J, an inactive ingredient didn’t meet internal testing requirements and B. cepacia bacteria were detected in a portion of raw material that went unused in the finished product. J&J went on to say that no bacteria were found in the finished product, and that the likelihood of a serious medical event is remote. However, in consultation with the FDA, the company decided to recall the products.
