McNeil Consumer Healthcare, the makers of Tylenol, has voluntarily announced a recall of 21 of its children’s liquid Tylenol products. According to the offical statement by McNeil, “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. Therefore, as a precautionary measure, it was decided to recall all Children's and Infants' TYLENOL® liquid products … which were made during this time.”

Parents and caregivers who have questions or concerns should contact their child's health care provider or call the McNeil consumer call center at 1-800-962-5357 (available Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET). Consumers can find the lot numbers on the bottom of the box containing the liquid product and also on the sticker that surrounds the product bottle.
