I heard about Tylenol a few years back in regards to young children and kidney failure. I haven't used Tylenol for anything for anyone since. Better to be safe than sorry I always say.

When my daughter was little..(she's now 18) I used to use the children's liquid motrin and it sure worked on getting the fever down. It was the best thing ever!! I sure hope they get this issue resolved. And continue to make there products safe for parents to use on their children.

The part that concerns me is that I gave the Children's Tylenol that is being recalled to our youngest months back to treat a high fever and that's when all of his serious health issues started. I'm hoping it wasn't caused from the Tylenol but I have the bottle to show the specialist when we go to Children's Hospital this week.

Definitely show your specialist and if he/she says that may be why, you need to contact Tylenol about it.

Bacteria found in Tylenol.

Read that this morning as well about finding bacteria now. Makes me more concerned and down right ticked off to say it nicely.
