Tylenol has recalled more than 20 types of children\'s and infant\'s medications as a precautionary measure against possible contamination. The liquid products were being pulled from shelves because bacteria were detected in one of the inactive ingredients.
The recalled products include:
- Children\'s Tylenol Cold MS Suspension 4 oz. Grape
- Children\'s Tylenol Plus Cough & Runny Nose 4 oz. Cherry
- Infant\'s Tylenol Suspension Drop 1 oz. Grape.b
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.
