Tylenol recalls several children’s products

September 25, 2009 By Whitney Leave a Comment

This one’s a biggie – lots of recalls on several Tylenol products (I know I found two of these in my medicine drawer just this morning).

Tylenol reports on their website, “You may have heard that McNeil Consumer Healthcare (the makers of TYLENOL®) is voluntarily recalling certain lots of Children’s and Infants’ TYLENOL® liquid products that were manufactured between April, 2008 and June, 2008. All products manufactured met internal specifications. However, the company is implementing this recall because during this period, an unused portion of one inactive ingredient did not meet all quality standards. Therefore, as a precautionary measure, it was decided to recall all Children’s and Infants’ TYLENOL® liquid products listed below, which were made during this time. ”
