McNeil Recall of Childrens OTC Medicines

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

Dear Community,

As you have likely heard, the FDA and McNeil Pharmaceuticals has announced a voluntary and precautionary recall of certain lots of OTC (over-the-counter) children’s meds.  I recommend checking any Tylenol, Motrin, Benadryl, or Zyrtec that you may have in your medicine cabinet to see if it is affected by the recall. Here is a link to the website listing affected NDC numbers or “lots”.  Most stores and pharmacies will replace your affected bottle with one that is not affected by the recall.

I hope this is helpful and finds you healthy and thriving.

Sincerely,

Dr. Chrissie
