Johnson & Johnson pulls infant Tylenol from store shelves
Company received complaints about dosing system
No description found
Johnson & Johnson has voluntarily pulled more than a half-million bottles of infant Tylenol from shelves in the latest in a string of recalls.
The oral grape Tylenol, distributed nationwide, was recalled after a "small number of complaints" with the bottle's Simple Measure dosing system, the New Brunswick, New Jersey-based drugmaker said in a statement. The bottle comes with a syringe and a barrier that limits the flow to the correct dose, which some customers said was pushed into the bottle during use.

"No adverse events associated with this action have been reported to date and the risk of a serious adverse medical event is remote," J&J said in the statement.
If the flow restrictor is pushed into the bottle, the parent or caregiver should not use the product. Consumers can request a refund by visiting www.tylenol.com or contacting McNeil at 1-888-222-6036 (Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern Time; Saturday-Sunday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Time).
