PediaCare and Tylenol for Infants Recalled

Published by admin at 11:09 am under Product Recalls

Johnson and Johnson (J&J) has recalled two popular brands of infant Tylenol and PediaCare cold and cough medicines. J&J issued a statement, saying “rare instances of misuse” that can lead to overdose, is the reason for the recall. This action comes after a recent FDA warning, recommending that children under the age of two not be given cough and cold medicine without being directed by a physician to do so. Not included in the recall are cough and cold medicines for children over the age of two.

Recalled items are listed below:

  • Concentrated Tylenol Infants’ Drops Plus Cold
  • Concentrated Tylenol Infant Drops Plus Cold and Cough
