Update: The Food and Drug Administration now says the dozens of children's medicines recalled over the weekend may have been contaminated by a bacteria.
This recall involves several different types of products from Children's Tylenol to Children's Motrin, Children's Zyrtec and Children's Benadryl. You'll find the complete list below.
According to McNeil Consumer Healthcare, a unit of Johnson & Johnson, some of these products may not meet required quality standards. The problems may affect the potency, purity or quality of the medicines. They are asking parents who have these medicines in their home to not administer them to their children.
The FDA says, “Some of the products included in the recall may contain a higher concentration of active ingredient than is specified; others may contain inactive ingredients that may not meet internal testing requirements; and others may contain tiny particles. While the potential for serious medical events is remote, the company advises consumers who have purchased these recalled products to discontinue use.”
The company is conducting a comprehensive quality assessment across its manufacturing operations and has identified corrective actions that will be implemented before new manufacturing is initiated at the plant where the recalled products were made.
If you have questions you can call 1-888-222-6036 or find more information at the company’s web site.
