The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) wants consumers to stop using liquid infant’s and children’s products that are part of a voluntary recall announced on April 30, 2010.
The firm McNeil Consumer Healthcare has recalled certain infant’s and children’s liquid products due to manufacturing deficiencies which may affect quality, purity, or potency.
