32 kids’ medicines recalled after tests spot ‘microbial contamination’ which could cause life-threatening infections

  • King Bio voluntarily recalled the few dozens of drugs on Wednesday
  • Medicines made between August 2017 and April 2018 may be contaminated
  • It is not clear what the microbial contamination is, but King Bio said it could put children at risk of life-threatening illnesses 

Thirty-two kids’ homeopathic medicines have been recalled over fears of microbial contamination that could cause life threatening infections. 

Manufacturer King Bio voluntarily recalled the few dozens of drugs on Wednesday after tests revealed drugs produced as long ago as August 1, 2017, may be affected.

The medicines include products used for chicken pox, colds, soar throats, teething, and bed wetting. 

According to statements from both the FDA and North Carolina-based King Bio, there have been no reports of illnesses connected to the medicines.  

Medicines made between August 2017 and April 2018 may be contaminated (such as this teething product). It is not clear what the issue is, but King Bio said it could put children at risk of life-threatening illnesses

They did not specify what the drugs may have been contaminated with, but they said kids who use the drugs are at risk of life-threatening infections. 

Still, they said there was no need to panic.  

‘Out of an abundance of caution, we are recalling the products and lot numbers below,’ the company said.  

King Bio will send letters to customers and distributors who need to return their medicines and/or have them replaced.
