Pacific Health Sciences has issued a voluntary recall for a specific lot of its Babies' Magic Tea Baby Sleep Gripe Water distributed across the United States. The action follows findings that the product contains undeclared levels of ethanol, methanol, and isopropanol.

Why it matters

The recall was initiated after FDA testing revealed the presence of alcohol ingredients not listed on the product label. Identifying and removing these products from the home is a necessary step to avoid unintended exposure to these substances in infants.

FDA testing confirmed the presence of three different alcohols in lot 25122bw of the product. While the manufacturer has received zero reports of adverse events, the presence of these substances in a product intended for infants prompted the recall.
