MASSIVE RECALLL OF CHILDREN'S OVER-THE-COUNTER MEDICATIONS
McNeil Consumer Healthcare, the maker of children’s Tylenol, Motrin, Zyrtec and Benadryl products, has voluntarily recalled certain lots of these over-the-counter liquid medications because some of them may contain more of the active drug ingredient than specified, foreign particles or inactive ingredients that may not meet testing requirements.
Please check your medicine cabinets to see if you have any of these products in your home. If you do, stop using them immediately. Contact your children's pediatrician if you have questions about alternative treatment options.
McNeil's website provides a list of the tainted medications as well as additional product information. Any adverse reactions may also be reported to the FDA’s MedWatch Program by fax at 1-800-FDA-0178, by mail at MedWatch, FDA, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20852-9787, or on the MedWatch website.
