FDA: Manufacturer Recalling Children’s/Infant’s Tylenol Products
Certain Oral Suspension Products May Be Contaminated
The U. S. Food and Drug Administration announced that manufacturer McNeil Consumer Healthcare is voluntarily recalling certain lots of oral suspension Children's and Infants' Tylenol products. This recall, which does not include other Tylenol products, was done as a precautionary measure because of potential manufacturing problems.
The manufacturer initiated a recall of certain oral suspension products distributed between March 2008 and May 2008 due to the potential of bacteria in raw materials used to manufacture the finished product. To date, no bacterial contamination has been found, and no illnesses have been reported by patients using the products.
The full list of recalled product lots can be accessed on the company’s Web site at www.tylenol.com/generic.jhtml?id=tylenol/news/subpchildinfantnews.inc.
