Tylenol recall affects Unalaska

Tuesday, May 04 2010

Unalaska, AK – The makers of Tylenol recently recalled many of their child and infant strength products. The voluntary recall by McNeil Consumer Healthcare includes children's and infant's Tylenol, Motrin, and Benedryl of various flavors and suspensions. The company says some of the products do not meet required quality standards but there have not been any adverse medical situations because of the drugs. According to the company's press release, some of the products have higher concentrations of the active ingredients than the labels say. Others have inactive ingredients that don't meet testing requirements or have tiny particles in them. The company recommends that you discontinue the use of these products.

Local stores have already pulled them off the shelves. Safeway manager Nancy Patterson says the products were removed on Saturday and returned to the warehouses. They will restock the shelves when the products become available and until then they have generic alternatives. If you have the recalled medicine at home, you can take it to the store for a refund. You can also check McNeil's online site to see if that particular batch was recalled or not and get refunds and coupons.
