A recall has been issued for more than 40 over-the-counter children’s medications, with concerns they may not have been produced properly.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said it’s investigating McNeil Consumer Healthcare. The company has issued a recall of some Tylenol, Tylenol Plus, Motrin, Zyrtec and Benadryl products. The products were all made in the U.S. and distributed in Canada.
In Canada, the recall is limited to: Children’s Motrin and Infant’s Motrin liquid suspension products and Children’s Tylenol Cough & Runny Nose liquid suspension product.
McNeil said it was recalling these products, in consultation with the FDA because manufacturing problems could affect the quality, purity or potency of the medicine.
The FDA said some products may contain a higher amount of active ingredient, some may contain inactive ingredients.
