Beware: May be dye-free, but not metal-free

Check those 1 ounce plastic bottles of Mylicon Gas Relief Dye Free Drops (over-the-counter) where you keep your children's medicines, especially if they were bought after October 5, 2008.  The FDA and the manufacturer (Johnson & Johnson - Merck Consumer Pharmaceuticals Company) sent out a recall notification. The lot numbers to look for are SMF007 and SMF008. If you have bottles matching these numbers, throw them out immediately! Some bottles may have been contaminated with metal fragments during the manufacturing process. If your infant has been given some of this medicine in the past and you are concerned, please contact your child's healthcare professional.
