Abbott recalls Similac and Pedialyte infant products due to potential spoilage

On Oct. 14, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) website issued a recall for certain lots of 2-fluid-ounce/59-milliliter bottles of ready-to-feed liquid products for infants and children, including the brands Similac® Pro-Total ComfortTM, Similac® 360 Total Care®, Similac 360 Total Care Sensitive, Similac® Special Care® 24, Similac Stage 1, Similac® NeoSure®, Similac Water (Sterilized) and Pedialyte Electrolyte Solution. 

Parent company Abbott recalled the products after it found a small percentage to have bottle caps that may not have sealed properly, which could result in spoilage. Spoiled products could cause diarrhea or vomiting if consumed.

Abbott primarily distributed the products included in the recall to hospitals and to some doctors’ offices, distributors and retailers in the United States, including Puerto Rico. In addition, Abbott sent one lot of products to Barbados, Bermuda, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, St. Croix and St. Thomas.
