Tylenol has just issued a recall on certain lots of infant and children’s Tylenol because it may be contaminated with a bacteria that causes pneumonia. We’ve given Bugsy a few doses of infant Tylenol in the past couple weeks because of vaccinations and a cold that he caught, so I was not happy to hear this. I immediately grabbed our bottle of infant Tylenol and checked the lot numbers being recalled. Whew, it wasn’t one of them. It doesn’t make me feel very good, however, to hear that a product that’s supposed to make your child feel better may make them worse. The list of specific lots that have been recalled can be found on the Tylenol website.

All these recalls make me a bit nervous purchasing things for Pooky. Here’s another one from Mattel which recalls another 9 million toys, including Polly Pocket dolls and Batman action figures:

Toy-making giant Mattel Inc. issued recalls Tuesday for about 9 million Chinese-made toys that contain magnets children can swallow or which could have lead paint.

The recalls includes 7.3 million play sets, including Polly Pocket dolls and Batman action figures, and 253,000 die cast cars that contain lead paint. The action was announced on the company’s Web site and at a news conference here by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

You’ve probably heard about the recall of 1.5 million Thomas the Tank Engine “Thomas & Friends” railway toys, but I wanted to post it here just in case anyone may have missed it since they’re such popular items. They’re being recalled because paints were used on them that contain lead.

Here are other recalls of children’s products you should be aware of:
