CHILDRENS TYLENOL RECALL 2009

Tylenol has been hit bad with bad product recalls, particularly Childrens Tylenol. This recent recall announced on APril 30, 2010 is not the first recall of Childrens' Tylenol Products.

This time, the Childrens Tylenol Recall is a Voluntary recall on behalf of McNeil Consumer Health, the makers of the recalled Childrens Tylenol. McNeil's website cites quality standards on their website when mentioning the recall of Children’s and Infants’ liquid products manufactured in the United States and distributed in the United States, Canada, Dominican Republic, Dubai (UAE), Fiji, Guam, Guatemala, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Panama, Trinidad & Tobago, and Kuwait.

Below is the Press release regarding the Childrens Tylenol recall from the McNeil Consumer Health website including a text list of all the Products they listed as effected by the Childrens Tylenol recall. McNeil posted an image on their website, I figured it was only fair to the parents involved to convert the list to text. Just in case there are any discrepancies, I have also included the Image of Childrens Tylenol products effected by the April 30 2010 Childrens Tylenol Recall, as it also contains lot numbers.




Fort Washington, PA (April 30, 2010) – McNeil Consumer Healthcare, Division of McNEIL-PPC, Inc., in consultation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is voluntarily recalling all lots that have not yet expired of certain over-the-counter (OTC) Children’s and Infants’ liquid products manufactured in the United States and distributed in the United States, Canada, Dominican Republic, Dubai (UAE), Fiji, Guam, Guatemala, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Panama, Trinidad & Tobago, and Kuwait. (SEE RECALLED PRODUCT LIST BELOW).

McNeil Consumer Healthcare is initiating this voluntary recall because some of these products may not meet required quality standards. This recall is not being undertaken on the basis of adverse medical events. However, as a precautionary measure, parents and caregivers should not administer these products to their children. Some of the products included in the recall may contain a higher concentration of active ingredient than is specified; others may contain inactive ingredients that may not meet internal testing requirements; and others may contain tiny particles. While the potential for serious medical events is remote, the company advises consumers who have purchased these recalled products to discontinue use.

The company is conducting a comprehensive quality assessment across its manufacturing operations and has identified corrective actions that will be implemented before new manufacturing is initiated at the plant where the recalled products were made.

Consumers can contact the company at 1-888-222-6036 and also at www.mcneilproductrecall.com. Parents and caregivers who are not sure about alternative pediatric health treatment options should talk to their doctor or pharmacist and are reminded to never give drug products to infants and children that are not intended for those age groups as this could result in serious harm.
