OTTAWA - Health Canada is advising consumers that a popular children's allergy medication is being voluntarily recalled by the manufacturer over quality-control issues.
McNeil Consumer Healthcare is pulling Children's Benadryl Allergy Meltaways tablets from the market and asking wholesalers and pharmacies to stop selling the product.
Health Canada says there have been no reported adverse reactions related to the over-the-counter allergy pills.
McNeil is recalling the tablets as a precautionary measure after quality-control concerns arose about lots of the product not yet released for sale.
New Jersey-based parent company Johnson & Johnson Inc. announced a recall Tuesday of the product sold in the United States.
The company recalled four million packages of cherry and grape Benadryl Fastmelt tablets.
