Infant’s, children’s liquid Tylenol voluntarily recalled for possible bacterial contamination

Fresno, California (CaymanMama.com) — Nearly 60 lots of Johnson & Johnson’s infants’ and children’s liquid Tylenol products have been voluntarily recalled at the drug maker’s McNeil unit due to possible bacterial contamination.

Manufactured between April and June 2009, the recalled products include approximately 24 varieties, including Children’s Tylenol Suspension 4 oz. Grape, Infants’ Tylenol Grape Suspension Drops 1/4 oz. and Children’s Tylenol Plus Cold/Allergy 4 oz. Bubble Gum.

The company reported Thursday that wholesalers and retailers had been notified of the recall.

According to the Associated Press, “An inactive ingredient didn’t meet internal testing requirements, the company said, and B. cepacia bacteria were detected in a portion of raw material that went unused in the finished product.”

Johnson & Johnson issued a statement that no bacteria were identified in the finished product, and no injuries have yet to be reported.

“It was decided, as a precaution, to recall all product that utilized any of the raw material manufactured at the same time as the raw material that tested positive for the bacteria,” the company said.

Consumers with questions should call McNeil’s customer service line at 1-800-962-5357.
