Several people have already mentioned Mead Johnson's Nutramigen formula
recall but some did not know whether this was national--it is nationwide and
also Guam, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico according to the aol news.
The instructions in Spanish for preparation of the formula are incorrect.
(English instructions are correct).   According to aol news, the company was
notified of this problem by a consumer who complained last Tuesday.  Let us
hope and pray that no infants and their families have to suffer from this
stupid error.  Valerie W. McClain, IBCLC (Please feel free to use this post
because it contains the batch numbers of the formula recalled)

"The recalled Nutramigen cans are white with blue lettering and have pictures
of rabbits on the side. The cans were sold in six-packs and have the
following batch codes:

For powder formula, the bottom of the can reads: BHC43, BHC44, BJC45, BJC46,
BJC47, BJC48, BKC49, BKC50, BLC51, BLC52, BLC53, BMC54, BMC55, BMC56, BAM57,
BAM58, BBM59, BBM60, BBM61, BCM62, BCM63, BCM64, BDM65, BDM66, BEM67, BEM68,
BEM69, BEM70, BEM71, BEM72, BFM73 and BFM74.

For ready-to-use formula, the top of the can reads: MBM90, MBM91, MCM92,
MCM93, MCM94, MDM95, MDM96, MEM97, MFM00 and MFM01.

The company became aware of the problem after a consumer complained on
Tuesday, Paradossi said.

Consumers can use the proper preparation instructions or return the cans to
the place of purchase for a full refund. For more information consumers
should call Mead Johnson toll-free at 1-800-718-7725 between 7 a.m. and 7:30
p.m. CDT Monday to Friday and on Saturday between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. CDT.

For cans still on store shelves, Paradossi said, the company will place
stickers on them telling consumers to ignore the Spanish instructions. "
