On Friday, September 6, Johnson & Johnson’s McNeil Unit recalled 200,000 bottles of Motrin Infants Formula.  The lot numbers covering the recall are the following:

  • DCB3T01
  • DDB4R01
  • DDB4S01

The recall is the result of the bottles potentially containing tiny particles of plastic called PTFE, which is a plastic used in Teflon coating.  The particles were found in another product containing Ibuprofen from the same third-party supplier whose Ibuprofen is used in the Infants Motrin.  Therefore while these lots of the Infants Motrin do not definitively contain PTFE particles, there is a high likelihood that they do.

The recalled products were manufactured in Belgium due to the fact that the company’s primary plant in Pennsylvania has been shut down since 2010 after a string of recalls, including recalls of Tylenol, Motrin, and Zyrtec.

Johnson & Johnson has had to recall over 40 products since 2009, including oral contraceptiveship implants, children’s Tylenol, and OneTouch strips used to test blood sugar levels.
