Johnson & Johnson's Mylanta Recall: What You Need to Know

Posted by David W Freeman Leave Comment


(CBS) Talk about heartburn.
Johnson & Johnson is recalling bottles of Mylanta after traces of alcohol were found in the popular over-the-counter antacid. The recall was initiated in order to "update the labeling" of the bottles and not because there was any danger to consumers, the company said in a statement.
"It is unlikely that use of these products will cause either alcohol absorption or alcohol sensitivity related adverse events," according to the statement.
The recall affects 12 million bottles of Mylanta as well as almost 85,000 bottles of another liquid antacid product, Atlernagel, Reuters reported. It is aimed at wholesalers and retailers. Consumers can continue to use the products, according to the statement.
Questions? Call the company at 800-469-5268.

You may have heard, McNeil Consumer Healthcare is initiating a voluntary recall of certain product lots of Infants’ TYLENOL® (acetaminophen), Infants’ MOTRIN®(ibuprofen), and Children’s ZYRTEC® (cetirizine HCI) distributed in the United States.  The Company is initiating the recall at the wholesale level only because the potential exists for the product lot number and/or expiration date printed on the bottle to become illegible as a result of consumer handling over the life of the product.  To date there have been no reports of adverse events caused by this labeling issue.
This is not a consumer level recall, so parents/caregivers are not required to take any action. There are no indications that the absence of these lot numbers and expirations dates will cause adverse events. Consumers with general questions should click here to contact our Consumer Care Center. Parents/caregivers who have given the product to their child or infant and have health concerns should contact their child’s health care provider.

McNeil Consumer Healthcare Announces Voluntary Recall of Certain OTC Infants’ and Children’s Products
Fort Washington, PA (April 30, 2010) – McNeil Consumer Healthcare, Division of McNEIL-PPC, Inc., in consultation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is voluntarily recalling all lots that have not yet expired of certain over-the-counter (OTC) Children’s and Infants’ liquid products manufactured in the United States and distributed in the United States, Canada, Dominican Republic, Dubai (UAE), Fiji, Guam, Guatemala, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Panama, Trinidad & Tobago, and Kuwait. (SEE RECALLED PRODUCT LIST BELOW).
McNeil Consumer Healthcare is initiating this voluntary recall because some of these products may not meet required quality standards. This recall is not being undertaken on the basis of adverse medical events. However, as a precautionary measure, parents and caregivers should not administer these products to their children. Some of the products included in the recall may contain a higher concentration of active ingredient than is specified; others may contain inactive ingredients that may not meet internal testing requirements; and others may contain tiny particles. While the potential for serious medical events is remote, the company advises consumers who have purchased these recalled products to discontinue use.
The company is conducting a comprehensive quality assessment across its manufacturing operations and has identified corrective actions that will be implemented before new manufacturing is initiated at the plant where the recalled products were made.
