All Hyland's teething tabs recalled for health concerns
(FOX 13) - Hyland's Baby Teething Tablets are being recalled because they contain inconsistent amounts of belladonna alkaloids and could pose serious health hazards to babies and children.
Standard Homeopathic Company is recalling all lots of Hyland’s Baby Teething Tablets and Hyland’s Baby Nighttime Teething Tablets after the FDA found the amounts of belladonna alkaloids in the tablets may not match what's printed on the label, and from tablet to tablet.
The FDA said it believes belladonna represents a serious health hazard to children and that the effects of belladonna are unpredictable.
The recall includes all products that retailers may have had in stock. The company stopped making and shipping the medicines nationwide in October 2016. This recall ensures the removal of any possible remaining products that may be on store shelves.
No other Standard Homeopathic Company/Hyland’s products are affected by the recall.
