JOHNSON & JOHNSON • MERCK CONSUMER PHARMACEUTICALS COMPANY ANNOUNCES URGENT VOLUNTARY NATIONWIDE RECALL OF INFANTS' MYLICON® GAS RELIEF DYE FREE DROPS (SIMETHICONE-ANTIGAS) NON-STAINING DUE TO POSSIBLE METAL FRAGMENTS
Fort Washington, PA (November 10, 200 – Johnson & Johnson • Merck Consumer Pharmaceuticals Company (JJMCP) is voluntarily recalling approximately 12,000 units of Infants’ MYLICON® GAS RELIEF DYE FREE drops (simethicone-antigas) non-staining sold in 1 oz. plastic bottles that were distributed after October 5, 2008 nationwide. The company is taking this action in consultation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Although the potential for serious medical events is low, the company is implementing this recall to the consumer level as a precaution after determining that some bottles could include metal fragments that were generated during the manufacturing process. If any medical events were to occur, most are expected to be temporary and resolve without medical treatment. Parents who have given the product to their infant and are concerned should contact their health care provider immediately.
The two lots of Infants’ MYLICON® GAS RELIEF DYE FREE drops non-staining 1 oz. bottles included in the recall are:

I also wanted to share something about Mylicon Gas drops... I bought a bottle of the drops late this summer just before Devon's arrival, probably in July or August. I had heard of the recall but we bought ours long before the bottles were contaminated. Anyway, was just reading the bottle for the heck of it and noticed that my bottle expired in August of 2007!!! We purchased it in July or August of 2008, and it's already a year overdue? I made no mistake when I was reading the bottle. It said August of 2007. I'm not sure if it's Target's fault for selling really old bottles or if it's Mylicon's fault for distributing old bottles. Or if it was a printing error. But either way, I just wanted to share so that you all check your bottles for the expiration date, just in case.
