Children's over-the counter medicine recalled!

Now this happened a few weeks ago but I just want to make sure that everyone has had a chance to read it and double and triple to check to ensure that they are no longer using the recalled products.

McNeil Consumer Healthcare issued the recall for children's versions of Tylenol, Tylenol Plus, Motrin, Zyrtec and Benadryl after consulting with the Food and Drug Administration. In Canada, the impact is limited to all lots of Children's Mortin and Infants' Motrin liquid suspension products and Children's Tylenol Cough & Runny Nose liquid suspension only. No other Canadian product is impacted.

McNeil Consumer Healthcare (Canada) is initiating this voluntary recall, in consultation with Health Canada because these products may not fully meet the required manufacturing specifications. The company advises consumers who have purchased these recalled products to discontinue use.

For more information contact McNeil Consumer Healthcare (Canada) at 1-888-222-6036 or you can also log on to www.jnjcanada.com.
