BACTERIA PROMPTS CHILDREN'S TYLENOL RECALL

Children's Tylenol 

A voluntary recall was recently issued for twenty-one infant and children's Tylenol products. Examination of the bulk material used in these products detected that one of the ingredients contained the bacteria Burkholderia cepacia (B. cepacia). Adverse health consequences of B. cepacia infections could be potentially severe especially in high-risk individuals, such as those with underlying pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis or those with comprised immune systems. If not treated timely, exposure to this bacteria can result in pneumonia or death. The recall was issued for children's Tylenol products manufactured between April 2008 and June 2008.
