Childrens and Infant's Tylenol Recall

For those of you who haven't heard, there has been a recall on Children's and Infant's Tylenol as well as Children's Motrin, Benadryl, and Zyrtec. You can read more about the recall by going here http://www.mcneilproductrecall.com/page.jhtml?id=/include/new_recall.inc

There you can check the NDC number on your medicine against the NDC numbers of the recalled products (the NDC numbers are listed near the bottom)

You can also go
http://www.tylenol.com/page2.jhtml?id=tylenol/news/ndc_finder.inc
to put in your NDC number on your bottle and to see exactly what Tylenol products have been recalled. You will find the NDC number on your bottle of Tylenol near the product's name. This is a serious issue and I wanted to make sure that with all the children and infant's in our ward, that everyone is getting Tylenol that is not bad.

*FYI, if yours is part of the recall and you need to get more, mine is Target brand and not part of the recall and I believe the Walgreens brand should be ok too, but double check the NDC number.

  1. Steph here again (from the PH Ward). My husband's a PharmD and said that it's just the name-brand, not generics. It's a voluntary recall due to bacterial contamination. No need to worry about Walgreens, Wal-Mart, etc. brands.
