My friend forwarded me an FDA link about a voluntary recall of Tylenol for children and infants. Although, it’s voluntary, it’s still better to be safe than sorry. A few of my Peoria mommy friends had the lot numbers mentioned, and threw their Tylenol away.
Here is the link: FDA Tylenol Recall Link. Click on the link to get the list of lot numbers recalled.
Here is some of the FDA text:
FDA Informs Consumers of a Nationwide Voluntary Recall of Certain Tylenol Products
The U. S. Food and Drug Administration wants to make consumers aware of a voluntary recall conducted by McNeil Consumer Healthcare of certain lots of oral suspension Children's and Infants' TYLENOL products. This recall was done as a precautionary measure because of potential manufacturing problems. The voluntary recall does not include other Tylenol products.
The company 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. The company’s analysis of the finished product did not reveal any bacterial contamination.
The FDA is working closely with the company to monitor this recall. There are no illnesses reported by patients using this product.
