Massive Infant Formula Recall Issued
KNBC-TV
2:58 p.m. PDT September 16, 2006
WASHINGTON - Hundreds of thousands of bottles of infant formula distributed nationwide might not have enough vitamin C, the Abbott healthcare company said. The recall is for approximately 100,000, 32-ounce plastic bottles of Similac Alimentum Advance liquid formula and approximately 200,000 bottles of Similac Advance with Iron. Abbott spokeswoman Tracey Noe said the bottles are missing a special layer that keeps air out. When the oxygen enters the bottle, it causes the level of vitamin C to decrease over time.

If infants drink formula without enough vitamin C for two to four weeks, they could start exhibiting symptoms of vitamin C deficiency. Those include irritability with pain. Abbott said, so far, it hasn't had any medical complaints.

The Alimentum Advance is marked with batch number 401895V, and the Similac Advance with Iron, is marked with 40177RH or 40172RH
