Parents urged to stop using recalled baby gripe water sold online
Key Points:
- Pacific Health Sciences is voluntarily recalling one lot (Lot 25122bw, best-before December 2028) of Babies' Magic Tea Baby Sleep Gripe Water after FDA testing found undeclared alcohols including ethanol, methanol, and isopropanol.
- The product, marketed to aid baby sleep and relieve digestive issues, contains approximately 8.3% ethanol and other organic alcohols not listed on the label, which may pose health risks to infants.
- Exposure to the alcohols at recommended doses could cause drowsiness, coordination problems, nausea, and more severe effects like respiratory depression, especially in infants.
- The recalled gripe water was sold online through Secrets of Tea and Amazon, and consumers are urged to stop use immediately and return or discard the product.
- No adverse events have been reported to Pacific Health Sciences so far, but anyone experiencing symptoms after use should seek medical attention and contact the company.
