McNeil Consumer Healthcare, a division of Johnson & Johnson is recalling some versions of infant Tylenol, according to a press release published today.
The recall is on roughly 574,000 bottles of infant grape-flavored liquid medicine. The recall stems from mechanical problems associated with the device that measures the medicine's dosage. The recall is being made voluntarily by McNeil as a precaution, since the company received a small number of consumer complaints reporting that they were having dosing measurement difficulties with the product.
The dosing device is called the SimpleMeasure dosing system. The product comes with a syringe and flow restrictor that enables the parent to measure the correct dose. However, McNeil reports that in some cases when the syringe is inserted, the restrictor is pushed into the bottle
The product naem being recalled is the Infants' Tylenol Oral Suspension 1 oz. Grape. The lot numbers being recalled are BJL2T00, BJL2U00, BIL0U00, BJL2D00, BIL0V00, BIL3500, BJL2E00, with a UPC code 300450122308.
No adverse reactions have been reported, according to the company. The company also notes in their press release that if the flow restrictor stays at the top of the bottle, consumers can continue to use the medicine.
