This Baby Gripe Water Was Voluntarily Recalled

When your kids are young, sometimes you rely on gripe water to help soothe them.

But if you've been using gripe water from Dollar General recently, you will want to get all the details on the new voluntary recall that the brand put out over the gripe water having a potential choking hazard.

The recall is of baby gripe water made by Kingston Pharma, LLC and sold at Dollar General, and it is due to an "undissolved ingredient" that can be a choking hazard.

If you're not sure what gripe water is, it's a "liquid herbal remedy marketed for relieving colic symptoms in babies," according to Healthline.

The FDA said this particular gripe water contains, "organic ginger and fennel extracts."

The product is not hazardous, but is being voluntarily recalled because of the undissolved ingredient that may create difficulty swallowing for "sensitive individuals."

"Kingston Pharma LLC has received one report of a one-week old infant having difficulty when swallowing the product and three complaints attributed to the undissolved citrus flavonoid," according to KKTV 11 News.

If you're starting to panic about the gripe water - there are some things to do first!

Make sure the gripe water you have been using actually is this brand sold at Dollar General, and then check the packaging, if it is the same brand.

The product is "packaged in 4-ounce amber bottles, white plastic caps with safety seals and provided with an oral syringe, with UPC Code 8 5495400246 3," according to the FDA.

If your child has had any reactions to the product, you can contact Christina Condon or C. Jeanne Taborsky by phone toll free at 844-724-7347 or by e-mail at Christina.Condon@SciRegs.com. And of course, if you have any concerns, it's always best to see your pediatrician.
