The product is marketed to soothe babies and relieve gas, and it is being recalled because it contains alcohol that isn't listed on the label.

What FDA Testing Found: Ethanol, Methanol, and Isopropanol

Pacific Health Sciences is voluntarily recalling one lot of its Babies' Magic Tea brand Baby Sleep Gripe Water, according to an announcement shared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. FDA testing found ethanol, methanol, and isopropanol in the product, none of which appear on the label. Measured levels were about 8.3% ethanol (drinking alcohol), 0.35% methanol (a toxic industrial alcohol), and 0.48% isopropanol (rubbing alcohol).

The recall warns that the risk depends on how much is consumed, along with the age and body weight of the person using it.

What to Do If You Have the Recalled Product

The dietary supplement was sold online, including through secretsoftea.com and Amazon. Parents and caregivers should stop using the recalled lot and can return it for a refund.
