(“McNeil”) issued a voluntarily recall, at the retail and wholesale levels, seven lots, roughly 574,000 bottles, of Infants' Tylenol Oral Suspension, 1 oz. Grape distributed throughout the country. Infants' Tylenol was a product for over-the-counter (OTC) treatment for fever and/or pain.
One family has also reported that the Tylenol product for babies resulted in the death of their infant son. Tylenol products for children, which are designed for children two years of age and older, have not been recalled and are still available. Parents and caregivers can continue to use Tylenol for infants if the flow restrictor at the top of the bottle stays in place, according to the Tylenol website. However, to play it safe, it is highly recommended to discard any remaining formula you may have. If your baby has been injured in any way as a result of the flaw with the formula, you may be entitled to monetary compensation in a product liability lawsuit.
