Liquid Tylenol Recall

by Tammi McGee

September 28, 2009

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. All products manufactured met internal specifications. However, the company is implementing this recall because during this period, an unused portion of one inactive ingredient did not meet all quality standards. As a precautionary measure, it was decided to recall certain lots of Children's and Infants' TYLENOL® liquid products.  The recall does not apply to Children's TYLENOL® Meltaways and Junior Strength TYLENOL ® Meltaways.
