Children’s Tylenol, Motrin and Other Products Recalled

The FDA has announced that McNeil Consumer Healthcare, a unit of Johnson & Johnson, has voluntarily recalled certain infant and children’s liquid medicines because of manufacturing deficiencies. The announcement comes only two weeks after we told you about possible toxins found in Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo.

According an FDA statement, consumers are advised to stop using certain infants’ and children’s Tylenol, Motrin, Zyrtec and Benadryl products because they may contain higher concentrations of an active ingredient than specified; others contain inactive ingredients that may not meet internal testing requirements; and others may contain tiny particles. Both the FDA and McNeil insist the potential for serious risk is remote, but have advised consumers to stop using the products because these deficiencies may affect the potency, purity or quality of the products.
