IMPORTANT: McNeil Product Recall
If you are like me, then you most likely have a HUGE stockpile of Zyrtec, Tylenol, Benadryl etc… if so, please read below for important information on the recent McNeil recall.
What items are being recalled?
Why is McNeil recalling these items?
McNeil Consumer Healthcare is initiating this voluntary recall because some of these products may not meet required quality standards. This recall is NOT being undertaken on the basis of adverse medical events. However, as a precautionary measure, parents and caregivers should NOT administer these products to their children.
What should I do if I purchased these products and currently have them in my medicine cabinet?
*Do NOT return recalled product(s) to retail stores.
*McNeil is offering 2 options for consumers who have purchased products affected by this recall: You can receive either a refund for the average retail price of the product or a coupon for a free replacement (s) when the product becomes available again. Click here to request a refund or high value coupon (Note: If you have more than 6 affected products, you will be required to complete 2 forms)
*To process your refund or coupon you will need the NDC number and Lot number from the product that has been recalled. The NDC number can be found above the brand name on the label of the bottle. The Lot number can also be found on the label and is usually placed vertically on the label.
What do I do with the recalled medication(s) that I currently have in my possession?
*Unless instructed otherwise, do NOT dispose of unused medicines by emptying them into your sink, toilet, or storm drain.
*Some states may have regulations regarding pharmacy or community take-back programs in which they may receive and dispose of returned unused drugs for patients. Contact your local pharmacy or local authority to determine if it participates in such programs.
*For information on disposing of over-the-counter medications, click here.

Thank you for posting this, I probably other wise would have never checked. Turns out I have 5 unopened or barely used bottles. I hope I get a refund!
I have 7 recalled bottles. I requested a refund for 6, and a product coupon for 1.
I have 2. One of which i almost gave the whole bottle of infant tylenol to my baby last week for two days straight. She had a UTI and fever of almost 104.
Has anyone heard back from McNeil yet?? I submitted my info to them the day Collin posted this and to date, I haven’t heard a thing.
I received my refund check today, which I submitted for the day Collin posted this. I submitted for a refund for 3 bottles and received a check for $24. Hope this helps! 🙂
