The FDA announced a recall of one lot (number 25122bw, best-if-used-by December 2028) of Magic Tea Brand Sleep Gripe Water dietary supplement, sold through Secrets of Tea and on Amazon. According to the FDA, inspectors found the product contained approximately 8.3% ethanol, 0.35% methanol, and 0.48% isopropanol that were not listed on the label. The FDA warned that these alcohols can impair the central nervous system and that infant ethanol exposure has been linked to long-term developmental consequences, and advised consumers to stop using the product immediately. No health issues or other emergencies have been reported related to the recalled product, according to the FDA.
