Nutramigen? 16-OZ. Powder Infant Formula and Nutramigen? 32-OZ. Ready-To-Use Infant Formula Recalled Due To Spanish-Language Labeling Error That Could Result in Illness
(Product is Safe When Prepared Correctly)
EVANSVILLE, IND., July 7, 2001 ? Mead Johnson Nutritionals is recalling certain batches of Nutramigen? 16-oz. powder infant formula and Nutramigen? 32-oz. ready-to-use infant formula because the Spanish-language side of the label for both products gives incorrect preparation instructions. The English-language instructions are correct and the product is safe to use as directed in English. If not properly prepared, Nutramigen? 16-oz. powder infant formula and Nutramigen? 32-oz. ready-to-use infant formula may cause seizures, irregular heart beat, kidney failure, or, in extreme cases, death. Symptoms to look for include vomiting, diarrhea, decreased urine output (fewer wet diapers), irritability, decreased activity or sunken eyes.
