Children's & Infants' OTC recall


If you haven't already heard, McNeil has just voluntarily recalled some of their over-the-counter children's and infants' liquid products including:

Children's & Infants' Tylenol
Children's & Infants' Motrin
Children's Zyrtec
Children's Benadryl

According to the FDA press release, the products were recalled "due to manufacturing deficiencies which may affect quality, purity or potency." If you should have a need for any of the above products, the FDA advises to use generic versions of the above products which have not been affected by the recall. See the full release here.

I just used two of these products on my 11-month old a couple weeks ago and while we suffered no ill effects, I'll be chucking them in the wastebasket as soon as I finish writing this post.
