RECALL: Children's and Infant's Tylenol Products


Quote  |  Reply

From NBC News:

McNeil Consumer Healthcare, Tylenol's manufacturer, said that bacteria were detected in the raw material of one of the inactive ingredients.

The company said no bacteria were found in any finished Tylenol product.

The raw material that the bacteria were found in was not used to make any Tylenol that was sold, but the company decided to recall all of the medicine that was made using raw material that was manufactured at the same time as a precaution.

I had two bottles of recalled Infant's Tylenol in my linen closet (purchased at Costco). I'm a little miffed at the makers of Tylenol because the chart on their website is so hard to read. Here's the link:

Here's an easier-to-read list of recalled medication:

Thanks so much for posting this.  I gave my baby tylenol for the first time on Friday after her 2 month immunizations.  Now I'm off to check the bottle to see if it was recalled.

Thanks Bier. I'm going to check what I have on hand as soon as I get home from work!
