Abbott Recalls Some Baby Formula Products Due to Spoilage Concerns
Abbott announced the recall of some ready-to-feed liquid products for infants and children, including the brands Similac and Pedialyte Electrolyte Solution, due to spoilage concerns as the bottle caps were not sealed on completely.
"These products are being recalled because a small percentage of bottles in the recalled lots have bottle caps that may not have sealed completely, which could result in spoilage," the company saidon Friday.""If spoiled product is consumed, gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting could result."
The products were manufactured at Abbott's facility in Colombus, Ohio and were primarily distributed to hospitals, doctor’s offices, distributors and some retailers in the US, including Puerto Rico. A limited number of producers were also sent to Canada, Colombia, the Dominican Republic and certain countries in the Caribbean.
"These products are also produced on another manufacturing line not impacted by this recall so it’s important to verify the lot number on the bottom or the side of the bottle to determine if it is included in the recall."
