NEW YORK -- Johnson & Johnson's McNeil unit said Thursday it is voluntarily recalling 57 lots of infants' and children's liquid Tylenol products because of possible bacterial contamination.
The products being recalled were made between April and June and include nearly two dozen varieties, including Children's Tylenol Suspension 4 oz. Grape, Infants' Tylenol Grape Suspension Drops 1/4 oz. and Children's Tylenol Plus Cold/Allergy 4 oz. Bubble Gum.
Johnson & Johnson said it has contacted wholesalers and retailers about the recall. An inactive ingredient didn't meet internal testing requirements, the company said, and B. cepacia bacteria were detected in a portion of raw material that went unused in the finished product.
The company said in a letter that no bacteria were found in the finished product, and that the likelihood of a serious medical event is remote. However, in consultation with the Food and Drug Administration, the company decided to recall the products.
"It was decided, as a precaution, to recall all product that utilized any of the raw material manufactured at the same time as the raw material that tested positive for the bacteria," the company said.
Consumers with questions should call McNeil's consumer call center at 1-800-962-5357.
A full list of the 21 recalled products and their lot numbers can be seen at:

ReplyDeleteSeen this the other day... Whats sad about it is the fact that these medicines were made in June of 2008... WTH?? That's OVER A FLIPPIN' YEAR AGO! And they're just NOW catching this????
ReplyDeleteI found this out in the hospital the other day. When I told them I could not swallow pills too well they went searching for the liquid Tylenol. I suppose it was the childrens kind because they came back and said they were all out of Tylenol. They instead, gave me my own pills that I had with me. Whatcha wanta bet there will be a charge for putting MY pills into their Medicine cup!
