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.
