Anyone see recall on Infants and Children's Tylenol and other meds?

nictel · April 2010

Just wondering if anyone heard about this...DS has been having a terrible time with teething, and of course I've been giving him Tylenol and Motrin...

Yep, I just saw it and checked my DS' bottles since he's been teething like crazy and getting Motrin almost every night. Both his Motrin and Tylenol are on the recall list. The bottle of Tylenol is almost finished. Just great.

We are teething central right now! We have CVS brand acetaminophen, wonder if that was recalled too or just name brand?

smiling76 · April 2010

So what do we do with these bottles??? Can we take them to the stores?

skidunks · April 2010

I was just wondering the same thing, if it was generic too or just the brand name stuff. We use the WalMart brand.

Argh! B's Mortin and Tylenol is on the recall list. Are they just pulling everything??

Hi, I'm sort of a lurker on this board

I was looking for Infant Motrin at Target today and was surprised that there was nothing on the shelf! no Tylenol products either! I ended up with the Target brand infant ibuprofen and didn't realize the recall until I was looking on this message board. Well I guess that solves the mystery! but I hope the store brand is OK...

Why does it seem like such little care is put into childre's items? It's is shocking.

stephanne · April 2010

ugh serious?!DS's tylenol,motrin & benadryll were all recalled!at least the Zyrtec I have wasn't.. thanks for the info

lovemytwoboys · April 2010

I hadn't seen that, so thanks for posting!

Our Infant Tylenol was on the list. I haven't checked the Motrin yet, but I'm sure it is too. :: sigh ::

These recalls infuriate me! Angry

ss+el · April 2010

Your store brands should be ok. It is very rare that a store brand is made by the same manufacturer as a name brand. In fact, it's probably written in fine print on the back that it is not. Also, most generics are made by the same company, regardless of which store they are packaged for.

ETA: Not a good year for Tylenol! They still haven't caught up from recalling all of those adult formulas.

Also, look on their website soon to see if they offer a coupon for a free product, they usually come out with one when something like this happens.

jnksmom · April 2010

Thanks for the info. Our Zyrtec, Benadryl, and Tylenol are all on the list.

macchiatto · May 2010

Yep.

We have 1-2 bottles each of those four recalled meds, too!

WifeofaMarine · May 2010

Sorry I DD, but I found the number. DS's bottle of Motrin that is almost finished is on the list.

Ugh, so frustrating! It seems like children's products and being recalled left and right these days.

thanks for posting I hadn't seen this.

and ds bottle of tylenol which is almost gone is on the list! hate these recalls

*blondiem* · May 2010

If it hasn't expired, it's recalled, so you don't even need to check the bottles. I just checked the 5 we have (yes, I have them everywhere around the house it seems) and all of them are on there. After further reading, it seems ALL bottles are recalled unless they have already expired.

AND, we have been on a T/M rotation because of Croup. I hate these companies so much. Jerks.

spunkielexis196 · May 2010

Damn! Oh well, I guess this is reason enough to stick with the generic for now. I guess I will go pick some up today.

even if it's not on the list you still have to pitch it? We have a bottle and it's not on the list and expires in about 2 months so we should still pitch it? Guess I'd rather be safe than sorry Guess I'll br going to the store to pick up some of the generic today

Interesting.

The way I read it, was that they are recalling all bottles that haven't expired. Maybe because yours is so close, it's not on the list??

Who knows. I am having a hard time trusting them at all right now.

Parks2Be · May 2010

So do we return them anywhere or just pitch them?
