Children's medications recalled by McNeil
Put words in our mouth
A number of infant and children's liquid medications have been voluntarily recalled by McNeil Consumer Healthcare.
The recall includes Tylenol, Motrin, Zyrtec, and Benadryl products and was instituted due to manufacturing deficiencies that may affect the quality, purity or potency of the medications. Some of the products included in the recall may contain a higher concentration of active ingredient than specified; others contain inactive ingredients that may not meet internal testing requirements; and others may contain tiny particles, according to an FDA press release.
The agency described the risk of serious events resulting from the deficiencies as remote, but recommended that consumers discontinue use of the medication. Generic versions of the recalled products could be used instead, the FDA advised. Any adverse events should be reported to the FDA MedWatch program and refunds for the affected products are available from McNeil.
