Why are you doing a voluntary recall of this product?

We are taking this precautionary measure, in consultation with the Philippine FDA (Food and Drug Administration), upon learning of the potential presence of ethylene glycol above the allowable limits in a raw material. Though the issue only impacted some batches, we are recalling all batches out of an abundance of caution.

What are the risks?

Nothing is more important to us than the safety of our consumers and the quality of our products. The potential presence of ethylene glycol in the product may result in adverse drug reactions. That is why even though our inspections and tests are still on-going, we have decided to proactively recall all batches still in circulation to ensure our consumers only get products that meet P&G’s quality promise.

If your child has consumed the product and experienced adverse reaction including the following: vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, altered mental state, symptoms of acute kidney injury like inability to pass or reduced urine, or lower back pain, or additional symptoms of irritability, lethargy, pale appearance, decreased muscle tone, and loss of appetite in younger kids, please contact the National Poison Management and Control Center at (02) 85241078 and seek urgent medical attention and please report to the FDA: www.fda.gov.ph or at the P&G Consumer Care contacts above.

As one of the leading consumer health companies in the world, P&G will always comply with the law and regulations where our business operates. We continue to work with the FDA, our customers, and consumers in taking the necessary actions on this matter.

P&G sincerely regrets the inconvenience caused to our customers and consumers.
