Johnson & Johnson Recalls Children’s Tylenol and Motrin
The U.S. FDA has urged consumers to stop using liquid Tylenol, Motrin, Benadryl and Zyrtec medicines for children and infants. Johnson & Johnson has announced a broad recall following the discovery of manufacturing deficiencies that could affect the quality, purity and potency of the drugs.
The FDA also warned that consumers should not give adult strength medicine to children instead, as this can result in serious harm.
According to Reuters:
“Some of the products affected by the recall may contain a higher concentration of active ingredient than specified; others contain inactive ingredients that may not meet internal testing requirements; and others may contain tiny particles.”
