J&J recalls Aveeno Baby Calming Comfort Lotion
Jan 30, 12 Drug NewsJohnson & Johnson on Friday said it is recalling more than 2,000 tubes of its Aveeno Baby Calming Comfort Lotion after U.S. regulators identified excessive levels of bacteria in a product sample.
J&J said the product, one of many consumer brands it has recalled in the past two years due to quality-control lapses, was being voluntarily withdrawn in Kansas and eight Southern states out of “an abundance of caution” and that its potential for harm was “remote.”
The company said a test by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration showed that the lot of Aveeno lotion “exceeded the specifications for common bacteria” allowed for consumer products.
But J&J said extensive testing later by an independent laboratory did not show that specifications were exceeded.
