In consultation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), McNeil Consumer Healthcare is voluntarily initiating a recall of certain lots of Children's and Infants' TYLENOL products that were manufactured between April 2008 and June 2008.


We have posted a full list of the recall

STATEMENT ON Tylenol.com website

You may have heard that McNeil Consumer Healthcare (the makers of Tylenol) is voluntarily recalling certain lots of Children's and Infants' TYLENOL® liquid products that were manufactured between April, 2008 and June, 2008 in consultation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).  The company is implementing this voluntary recall at the warehouse and retail levels, because examination of one of the inactive ingredients did not meet internal testing requirements. However, the packaged product, shipped to retailers by the company, has met all specifications.

These actions do not apply to Children's Tylenol Meltaways and Junior Strength Tylenol Meltaways. The voluntary recall applies only to select lots of Children's and Infants' TYLENOL® liquid products.
 
If you have any of the potentially affected products in your home and have questions you can contact the McNeil Consumer Call Care Center at 1-800-962-5357 (available Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern Time.)
 
Parents and caregivers who have given the product to their child or infant and have concerns should contact their child's health care provider.  
 
The full list of affected products is in the link above. Consumers can find the lot numbers on the bottom of the box containing the product and also on the sticker that surrounds the product bottle. If you have more questions, please contact our consumer call center at 1-800-962-5357.
