McNeil, a division of Johnson & Johnson, in consultation with the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration), is voluntarily recalling all unexpired lots of certain OTC (over-the-counter) Children’s and Infants’ liquid products, including Tylenol, Mocrin, Zyrtec and Benadryl, manufactured in the USA.
The company says the chances of injury from one of the recalled products are “remote.” Yet consumers are warned not to use the recalled products.
“Some of the products included in the recall may contain a higher concentration of active ingredient than is specified; others may contain inactive ingredients that may not meet internal testing requirements; and others may contain tiny particles,” a company news release states.
McNeil did not say how many units were being recalled, but the number likely is huge. Recalled products were distributed in the U.S., Canada, Dominican Republic, Dubai (UAE), Fiji, Guam, Guatemala, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Panama, Trinidad & Tobago, and Kuwait.
The company is conducting a comprehensive quality assessment across its manufacturing operations and has identified corrective actions that will be implemented before new manufacturing is initiated at the plant where the recalled products were made.
