You may have heard, but if not then this is a doozy…Tylenol has just recalled certain lots of Children’s and Infants’ Tylenol. I think it’s safe to say that the majority of Moms and Dads out there have this in their medicine cabinet.

The recall is due to concerns about certain lots being contaminated with B. Cepacia, a type of bacteria that can cause pneumonia in some children. If you have any medicine from the recalled lots, throw it away immediately. No children have yet to be reported ill, but still, the makers of Tylenol, McNeil Consumer Healthcare, have voluntarily recalled the following lots of their product:

It’s time once again for our weekly recall update on baby products you might own. Clark’s is recalling certain shoes because molded rubber pieces on the sole of can detach, posing a choking hazard to infants and young children. While no incidents have been reported in the United States, there have been six reports of the rubber pieces detaching, including two reports of children mouthing the rubber piece in the United Kingdom. No injuries have been reported.

This recall involves Clarks children’s shoes sold under the “crawlers” and “hazy daze” style names. The crawlers were sold in infant sizes 2 to 3 1/2; and the hazy daze in sizes 4 to 6 1/2. “Clarks” is printed on the sole underneath the heel and the words “Clarks First Shoes” is printed on a multi-colored label inside the shoe’s heel area. The following names and model numbers are included in this recall. These shoes were sold in Clarks retail stores nationwide from February 2009 through July 2009 for between $35 and $40.
