Johnson & Johnson recalls 200,000 bottles of ibuprofen for infants and young children
¡¾ Global network comprehensive report ¡¿ The Huffington Post reported on September 9 that Johnson & Johnson has recalled 200,000 bottles of infant ibuprofen medicine. Ibuprofen has a fever-reducing and analgesic effect. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website, the drug was misidentified at the time of manufacture and may contain tiny plastic particles that pose a potential danger.
McNeil, a J&J subsidiary in the United States, said in an interview that the recall would involve three batches of MotrinInfants' BerryFlavor drops of ibuprofen, Which are used to reduce fever and relieve pain in infants and toddlers 2 years of age or younger.
It has not been determined whether plastic particles are in the recalled drug, but they were found in the manufacturing process of another product, according to the report. Both drugs contained isobuprofenic acid that had been shipped in the same shipment by a third-party supplier, so the company decided to recall them as soon as possible. McNeil warned consumers that the drugs may contain some polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which is commonly used in Teflon coatings, and advised them to stop using the product as soon as possible. So far, no injuries have been reported.
"We believe that the plastic particles appeared when isobuprofenic acid was produced by a third-party supplier," said McNeil Vice President EdKuffner. The recalled products can be identified by lot numbers: DCB3T01, DDB4R01 and DDB4S01. (Practice compilation: Li Yuke, Review: Li Na)
