Product Recalls

I've a few recalls to share:

Children's Benadryl Allergy Fastmelt Tablets and Junior Strength Motrin Caplets 

Along with the FDA, McNeil has voluntarily recalled Children's Benadryl Allergy Fastmelt Tablets (cherry and grape flavor) and Junior Strength Motrin Caplets (24 ct).  According to the FDAs website, the products being recalled "revealed insufficiencies in the development of the manufacturing process", and the recall seems to be a protective, proactive measure.  For further questions, contact McNiel's Consumer Care at 1-888-222-6036.
