Childrens Tylenol Products Recalled

[mrjarrell]

Just a heads up for the other parents out there. The company that makes Tylenol for kids has issued a massive recall of their products. Time to check the meds cabinet, just to be on the safe side.

September 24, 2009​

You may have heard that McNeil Consumer Healthcare (the makers of TYLENOL®) is voluntarily recalling certain lots of Children's and Infants' TYLENOL® liquid products that were manufactured between April, 2008 and June, 2008. All products manufactured met internal specifications. However, the company is implementing this recall because during this period, an unused portion of one inactive ingredient did not meet all quality standards. Therefore, as a precautionary measure, it was decided to recall all Children's and Infants' TYLENOL® liquid products listed below, which were made during this time.

Parents and caregivers who have questions or concerns should contact their child's health care provider or our consumer call center at 1-800-962-5357 (available Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern Time). Consumers can find the lot numbers on the bottom of the box containing the liquid product and also on the sticker that surrounds the product bottle. The lot numbers of the affected products are listed below.

These actions do not apply to Children's TYLENOL® Meltaways and Junior Strength TYLENOL® Meltaways. The voluntary recall applies only to select lots of Children's and Infants' TYLENOL® liquid products.

For a list including lot #'s and products go to the website. It doesn't copy over right.

Wow, we've been using infants Tylenol for my boy the past 2 weeks. He's got a couple molars coming in. I guess that's why we pray too.

Thanks for the heads up!

Still have to watch what is on the shelf in stores, as well. Found some at Walmart still on the shelf, asked an employee about it and they got their dept manager, checked, and pulled it. People overlook important things sometimes....
