Standard Homeopathic recalls teething tablets

LOS ANGELES — Standard Homeopathic Company last week recalled all lots of Hyland's Baby Teething Tablets and Hyland's Baby Nighttime Teething Tablets sold in retail stores to the consumer level.



"It is important for you to know that all manufactured and sold teething medicines met the company’s safety limit tests and all tested product has been well within an established safety threshold," the company stated in an open letter to consumers. "We very much regret the concern and confusion you may be feeling in regards to these products. Over the past months, we have appreciated the words of support from many of you. We remain confident of the safety of Hyland’s medicines."



The Hyland's Baby Teething Tablets and Hyland's Baby Nighttime Teething Tablets were used to provide temporary relief of teething symptoms in children. The recall includes all products that retailers may have had in stock. Standard Homeopathic stopped making and shipping the medicines nationwide in October 2016. This recall ensures the removal of any possible remaining products that may be on store shelves.



No other Standard Homeopathic Company/Hyland's products are affected by this recall.



"We initiated this recall even after discontinuing production last fall because it is appropriate to do what our regulating agency has formally requested," stated J.P. Borneman, chairman and CEO of Standard Homeopathic Company. "We are committed to maintaining and earning the trust consumers have placed in Standard Homeopathic Company. We have worked for 114 years to build relationships with our consumers.  We intend to preserve that tradition of trust."



Standard Homeopathic Company is notifying its distributors and retailers by mail and is arranging for the return of all recalled products.  Consumers who have products which are being recalled should discard the product.
