Some brand-name children's Tylenol, Motrin, Benadryl, and Zyrtec products are being recalled by the manufacturer (a subsidiary of Johnson and Johnson) for quality control problems.

so, is it a batch problem? it is going to be a nightmare if all children's medicine are off the market.

Yes, I think this is a manufacturing issue. The recalls are limited to Ortho McNeil's products (ie, all brand-name drugs).

啊， 好像所有小孩子的Tylenol, Motrin都是这个牌子的啊。
也没说已经吃过的具体会有什么问题。而且没说哪段时间生产的有问题。真是，这个公司的QC是干什么的。

Only the products manufactured by McNeil are being recalled. Generics (children's acetaminophen, ibuprofen, diphenhydramine, and cetirizine) are not being recalled.

What should I do if I have given this product to my child or infant?

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. If you have any health concerns, we recommend that you contact your child’s healthcare provider. Any adverse reactions may be reported to the FDA’s MedWatch Program by fax at 1-800-FDA-0178, by mail at MedWatch, FDA, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20852-9787, or on the MedWatch website at http://www.fda.gov/medwatch.

看了一眼，说是有效成分比标注的要多，添加剂怎么了，还有沉淀。还说因此而引起的健康问题可能性很遥远。所以我就不打算紧张了。

我们家通通都有而且批次都在名单上. 我也不怎么为以前的事情担心. 但是现在是不是要重新买呢? 还得换牌子, 因为这个牌子在店里卖的批次基本都被召回了.

我觉得还是扔掉重买比较保险点。
