In consultation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Johnson & Johnson-Merck Consumer Pharmaceuticals, Co. (JJMCP) is recalling, from the wholesale and retail level, twelve MYLANTA® liquid products and one AlternaGEL® liquid product. JJMCP is conducting the recall in order to update the labeling for these products. The specific products involved, listed below, are being recalled in the United States and Puerto Rico.

JJMCP initiated the recall after an internal review revealed that information about the presence of alcohol from flavoring agents was not noted on the packaging. Certain flavoring agents contribute small (less than 1 percent) amounts of alcohol. It is unlikely that use of these products will cause either alcohol absorption or alcohol sensitivity related adverse events.Recalled products include: Mylanta Regular Strength Original 12 fluid ounces; Mylanta Original 5 fluid ounces; Mylanta Regular Strength Mint 12 fluid ounces; Mylanta Maximum Strength Cherry 12 fluid ounces; Mylanta Maximum Strength Mint 12 fluid ounces; Mylanta maximum strength original 12 fluid ounces; Mylanta Maximum Strength Original 24 fluid ounces; Mylanta Ultimate Strength Mint 12 fluid ounces; Mylanta Ultimate Strength Cherry 12 fluid ounces; Mylanta Supreme Tasting with Calcium Cherry 12 fluid ounces; Mylanta Supreme Tasting with Calcium Cherry 24 fluid ounces; Mylanta Maximum Strength Original 12 fluid ounces and Alternagel 12 fluid ouncesThis is a wholesale and retail level recall and is not being undertaken on the basis of adverse events.
