It seems like the number one brand in alleviating fevers and pain for infants has
not learned from its first lesson back in 2010.
The most recent recall involves a little over half a million bottles. If you are a
parent or have a child at home you don't have to panic.
The recall was mainly because of the design of the bottle. The new bottles of Tylenol
contain a sensitive syringe that is attached to the cap of the bottle.
The tip of the syringe could potentially brake off and float on the bottom of the
bottle. This leaves us with 574,000 being removed from shelves that recently saw
them disappearing 2 years ago.
If you have one of the now recalled bottles you can still use it. However you have
to be careful that the bottle's cap and syringe are in good conditions and consult
a pediatrician on how much dosage your child needs.
If you do not feel safe with the product you can use a generic brand, which
practically contain the same stuff Tylenol does, or a medication with paracetamol.
Think about it, sometimes a fever does not have to be treated with medicine.
You can avoid drugs and use home remedies or consult a doctor.
Most importantly, you should know the regular temperatures for children and toddlers
and when to recur to medication.
