McNeil Consumer Healthcare is recalling Infants’ Tylenol Oral Suspension in the 1 oz grape-flavored version after consumer complaints about its dosing system.
Seven lots, or about 574,000 bottles of the product, are being recalled at the wholesale and retail levels nationwide.
The product’s SimpleMeasure dosing system includes a dosing syringe
that a parent or caregiver inserts into a protective cover, or flow
restrictor, at the top of the bottle to measure the proper dose. In some
cases, the flow restrictor was pushed into the bottle while consumers
were inserting the syringe.
Lot numbers of the recalled products are as follows: BIL0U00,
BIL0V00, BIL3500, BJL2D00, BJL2E00, BJL2T00, BJL2U00. The UPC code is
300450122308.
Infants’ Tylenol products can continue to be used only if the flow
restrictor at the top of the bottle remains in place, but not if the
flow restrictor is pushed into the bottle.
The firm said no adverse events have been reported to date, and the risk of a serious adverse medical event is remote.
To request a refund or for more information, visit www.tylenol.com or call McNeil at 888-222-6036. Parents also can contact their pediatrician with questions.
