Here is the copy and paste of all recalled OTC children medicines. Sorry for the all-caps, it comes from the bulletin that way and I tried to format it to make it a little more readable, but believe I have failed. I did go through line-by-line to make sure that all the numbers matched up correctly.<p>Product name is first, followed by the NDC number.<p><i>Note, the NDC number is either on the box, bottle or both, typically located at the top, is written in not so easy to see font and, just as frustrating, is typically black text printed on the same color as the marketing/label color.<p>It would be friendly if this was always printed in a white box with black text.<p>----------------------

Fun. The only value the name brands have over generics is an assumption that they are going to put the right dose in, and not use untested ingredients. That's why you pay extra, because they are not going to fuck around with ways to cut costs.<p>But I forgot, this is America. Buy generic, I guess...
The NDC number seems to be a very "broad" number, (they seem to be recalling ALL of the outstanding products in these lines) as opposed to recalling some lots from some factories. That's probably good from a safety perspective, but unfortunate in terms of hassle (I'll probably be throwing away a lot of unaffected product).<p>All of my kids' medicines were affected (9 bottles, 4 different kinds), and a friend found the same.<p>The official site of the recall: <a href="http://www.mcneilproductrecall.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.mcneilproductrecall.com/</a><p>The form to fill out if you'd like your money back:

That's unfortunate, since they could at least have an auto-responder acknowledging receipt.
