Weekly Recall Reminder: Children’s and Infants Tylenol
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:

Parents and caregivers who have questions or concerns should contact their child’s health care provider or the consumer call center at 1-800-962-5357 (available Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern Time). To find the lot numbers, look on the bottom of the box containing the liquid product and also on the sticker that surrounds the product bottle.
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.
