Filed Under Product Recalls

Tylenol is issuing a “warehouse recall” on several different types of Infant and Children’s Tylenol due to a contamination. According to the folks at Babble, the drug is still safe, but you may want to call and find out if your bottle is part of the recall:

The best news? The drug is safe. It’s a voluntary recall, which according to NY Pediatrician Dr. Seth Gordon came because “examination of bulk raw material detected that one of the inactive ingredients contained gram-negative bacteria Burkholderia cepacia (B. cepacia). The portion of raw material in which the bacteria was found was isolated and was not used in the production of any finished product.”

You can read all of the details of the recall over at babble or check for your recalled items on Tylenol.com

I question whether Tylenol is safe for infants and kids, period. My pediatrician told me he read a report linking Tylenol use to childhood asthma and advised me against administering Tylenol. Of course, he didn’t give me a copy of the study or a URL. Have you heard anything about this?

Tylenol is like Panadol in Australia. I am always loathe to use any paracetemol product unless I absolutely have to.

Your site is great. A fantastic resource. I have linked to you at my site (I’ve just started it). Would you consider reciprocating links?
