Pacific Health Sciences has initiated a voluntary recall for lot number 25122bw of its Babies' Magic Tea brand Baby Sleep Gripe Water. FDA testing identified the presence of undeclared ethanol, methanol, and isopropanol in the product.
Why it matters
The recall was launched to protect infants from potential toxicity risks caused by the unintentional inclusion of alcohol and chemical solvents. While no adverse events have been reported, these substances are not intended for use in baby products.
The affected lot number 25122bw contains measured concentrations of 8.3% ethanol, 0.35% methanol, and 0.48% isopropanol. The product is typically sold in 4 fl oz or 118 mL containers with a best before date of 12/2028.
