Pacific Health Sciences has issued a voluntary recall for a specific lot of Babies' Magic Tea Baby Sleep Gripe Water due to the presence of undeclared alcohols. The affected products were distributed nationwide through Amazon and other online retailers.
Why it matters
The recall was initiated after FDA testing identified ethanol, methanol, and isopropanol in the product, which were not listed on the label. Exposure to these substances poses significant health risks to infants, and no adverse events have been reported to date.
The recall involves lot number 25122bw of Babies' Magic Tea Baby Sleep Gripe Water, which carries a best-before date of 12/2028. This specific lot of the 4-ounce (118 mL) product was sold via Secrets of Tea and online marketplaces.
