Infant and Children’s Liquid Tylenol is Recalled

Johnson & Johnson voluntarily recalled at least 57 lots of infant and children’s liquid Tylenol because of a potential bacterial contamination. An official spokesperson for the company stated that an inactive ingredient did not meet normal testing standards.  They also detected B. cepacia bacteria in  some of the unused test batches. As soon as they were made aware of the problem they contacted  many wholesalers and companies that had stocked their product.

The company also revealed that no bacteria was found in the finished Tylenol product.  They decided on a recall however, upon speaking with the Food and Drug Administration, as a precaution.

The primary Tylenol products being recalled were made between April and June and include   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.
