NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (WKOW) -- Johnson & Johnson is voluntarily pulling more than
a half-million bottles of infants' Tylenol from shelves in the
latest in a string of recalls.
The oral grape Tylenol, distributed nationwide, was
recalled after a small number of complaints with the
bottle's dosing system. The bottle comes
with a syringe and a barrier that limits the flow to the correct
dose, which some customers said was pushed into the bottle
during use, according to a company statement.
Company officials say "No adverse events associated with this action have been
reported to date and the risk of a serious adverse medical event
is remote."
Johnson & Johnson says customers can continue using Infants' Tylenol as long as
the flow restrictor remains at the top of the bottle, Children's Tylenol, for kids more than two years
old, is still available.
In the last two years, Johnson & Johnson has recalled hundreds of
millions of packets of Tylenol, Motrin, Benadryl and other
products due to foul odors, adulterated ingredients and bad
labeling.
