*Recall* Halloween Candy

There has been a Halloween candy recall....

It looks like certain lots of Mega Pops lollipops are being recalled because the candy may contain "minute traces" of stainless steel.

A consumer complaint prompted North Carolina Department of Agriculture inspectors to test samples of the candy imported from Colombia, and that state agency found metal fibers and flakes in the candy and issued a consumer warning.

Columbina said that they while believe there is no health risk, they still urged customers to return any bag of Mega Pops, REGARDLESS of the lot number, to the store where it was purchasedfor either a refund or store credit.
It looks like the recalled lots of Mega Pops is about 90,000 bags in-total. They were distrubuted nationwide at several retailers and wholesalers.
The RECALLED LOTS are:  Watermelon, cherry, orange and grape-flavored lollipops in 14-ounce and 28-ounce cellophane bags with the UPC code numbers of either 0 14272 10873 9 or 0 14272 10862 3. The lot numbers of 1240695, 1209708, or 1209796 can be found in a white square on the back of the bag in the lower left side.

They have setup a 24-hour hotline to answer ANY questions consumers may have. The number is.... (888) 317-3686.

**Recall** Similac Formula

If you have a little one that presently drinks Similac formula, be aware that Similac just released a voluntary recall of certain Similac-brand infant powder formulas. Let me first start off with that the site is running VERY VERY slow.
Why is Abbott recalling these products?
An internal quality review detected the remote possibility of the presence of a small common beetle in the product produced in one production area in a single manufacturing facility. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that while the formula containing these beetles poses no immediate health risk, there is a possibility that infants who consume formula containing the beetles or their larvae, could experience symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort and refusal to eat as a result of small insect parts irritating the GI tract. If these symptoms persist for more than a few days, a physician should be consulted.

What Similac powder infant formulas are being recalled?
* Certain Similac powder product lines offered in plastic containers.
* Certain Similac powder product lines offered in 8-ounce, 12.4-ounce and 12.9-ounce cans.

* To immediately find out if the product in your possession is included in this recall, click here (you will need to type in your lot number to determine if the product is affected) or you can also call 800-986-8850.

No Abbott liquid infant formulas are impacted. Products not involved in the recall include all Abbott Nutrition liquid ready-to-feed and concentrated infant formulas and all powder and liquid specialty formulas, such as Similac Expert Care™ Alimentum®, Elecare ®, Similac Expert Care™ Neosure ®, Similac® Human Milk Fortifier, and metabolic formulas for inherited disorders.
What do I do if I have an affected product?
* Click here or call Abbott’s consumer hotline 800-986-8850, 24 hours a day, seven days a week
* Both the website and the consumer hotline have specific details on how to complete the return process.
**Hip2Save is also reproting that the phone hotline has an extremely long wait.

Thanks Hip2Save!

ANOTHER Tylenol Recall!

Tylenol has announced ANOTHER recall!

This is from their website:.....

MCNEIL CONSUMER HEALTHCARE ANNOUNCES VOLUNTARY RECALL OF CERTAIN OVER-THE-COUNTER (OTC) PRODUCTS IN THE UNITED STATES, FIJI, GUATEMALA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, PUERTO RICO, TRINIDAD & TOBAGO, AND JAMAICA


FORT WASHINGTON, PA (July 8, 2010) – McNeil Consumer Healthcare, Division of McNEIL-PPC, Inc., is recalling 21 lots of over-the-counter medicines. The lots involved, listed below, are sold in the United States, Fiji, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Trinidad & Tobago, and Jamaica. This action is a follow-up to a product recall that McNeil Consumer Healthcare originally announced on January 15, 2010, which was initiated following consumer complaints of a musty or moldy odor, which has been linked to the presence of trace amounts of a chemical called 2,4,6-tribromoanisole (TBA). The risk of serious adverse medical events is remote. This recall is being conducted with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

These lots are being added to the list of recalled products as a precautionary measure after a continuing internal review determined that some packaging materials used in the lots had been shipped and stored on the same type of wooden pallet that was tied to the presence of TBA in earlier recalled lots. All lots involved in the recall were produced before the January 15, 2010 recall, after which McNeil stopped accepting shipments of materials from its suppliers on that type of pallet.

Consumers who purchased product from the lots included in this recall should stop using the product and contact McNeil Consumer Healthcare for instructions on a refund or replacement. For these instructions, and information regarding how to return or dispose of the product, consumers should log on to the internet at http://www.mcneilproductrecall.com/ or call 1-888-222-6036 (Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern Time, and Saturday-Sunday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Time). Consumers who have medical concerns or questions should contact their healthcare provider.

Any adverse reactions may also be reported to the FDA’s MedWatch Program by fax at 1-800-FDA-0178, by mail at MedWatch, HF-2, FDA, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20852-9787, or on the MedWatch website at www.fda.gov/safety/medwatch/default.htm.
