TORONTO — Products sold at major Canadian retailers to treat symptoms of upset stomachs and other gastrointestinal issues in babies have been recalled.
Health Canada announced the recall Saturday, saying that tests by the products’ manufacturer showed microbial contamination.
The recalled product is sold as Gripe Water and advertised as being alcohol- and preservative-free. According to Health Canada, it is marketed as a “gentle antacid for quick relief of baby’s minor stomach upsets such as colic, cramps, gas, sour stomach, and hiccups especially during teething.”
