Johnson & Johnson/Merck Consumer Pharmaceuticals Company is voluntarily recalling approximately 12,000 units of Infants' Mylicon Gas Relief Dye Drops (simethicone-antigas) non-staining sold in 1 oz. plastic bottles that were distributed after October 5, 2008 nationwide. The company is taking this action in consultation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Although the potential for serious medical events is low, the company is implementing this recall to the consumer level as a precaution after determining that some bottles could include metal fragments that were generated during the manufacturing process. If any medical events were to occur, most are expected to be temporary and resolve without medical treatment. Parents who have given the product to their infant and are concerned should contact their health care provider immediately.
Infants' Mylicon drops are sold over-the counter, in retail stores and pharmacies, as an anti-gas medicine to relieve the discomfort of infant gas frequently caused by air swallowing or by certain formulas or foods.
The manufacturer has instructed retailers and wholesalers to return their inventories. The two (2) lots of Infants' Mylicon drops non-staining 1 oz. bottles included in the recall are:
Product Code #: Lot #: Expiration Date:
71683791111-1 SMF007 September 2010
71683791111-1 SMF008 September 2010
Consumers can find the lot numbers on the bottom of the box containing the product and also on the lower left side of the sticker on the product bottle.
Consumers who purchased Infants' Mylicon Gas Relief Dye Free Drops non-staining included in this recall should immediately stop using the product and contact the company at 1-800-222-9435 or via the internet at www.mylicon.com for instructions regarding how to dispose of the product and request a replacement or refund.
