Pacific Health Sciences has issued a voluntary recall for one lot of its Babies’ Magic Tea brand Baby Sleep Gripe Water due to the presence of undeclared toxic alcohols. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) testing revealed that the product contained approximately 8.3% ethanol, 0.35% methanol, and 0.48% isopropanol, none of which were disclosed on the product label.
