Tylenol And Motrin Included In Recall On Childrens Medicine 2010

A recall on children’s medicine, including Tylenol and Motrin, has been issued by the FDA and McNeil Health. Tylenol, Motrin, and Benadryl are all included in the recall on children’s medicine 2010. If you have any of the recalled medicine, you can get a small loan of a coupon or refund for the product. Discontinue use of these medicines, according to the suggestions of the FDA and McNeil healthcare.

Issues with the childrens medicine 2010 recall

The maker of the medicines, McNeil Consumer Healthcare, initiated the recall on childrens medicine. The children’s medicine 2010 recall was announced for three reasons. The most important reason for the recall is that the concentration of the active ingredient is higher than what is on the label. There is also a concern that inactive ingredients in the medicine may not meet “internal standards for quality”. Third, some of the recall on children’s medicine 2010 is because there are small particles in the medicine.

Recall on children’s medicine 2010 continues Tylenol problems

This recall on children’s medicine 2010 is the second time Tylenol has been recalled this year. In January of 2010, Children’s Tylenol pills and chews were recalled. Confusing dosage instructions on the package was the reason for that January Tylenol recall. There is a website with information on the recall on childrens medicine, built by McNeil Healthcare, at McNeilProductRecall.com. With the number of recent recalls, McNeil healthcare has assured the FDA it will “undertake a comprensive review” of the processes used to manufacture the medicines they sell.
