Hyland’s Teething Tablets in conjunction with the Food and Drug Administration has initiated a recall on several different bottles of their teething tablets. The recall was initiated because of 2 issues. First off, there are inconsistent amounts of belladonna in the tablets. Belladonna is a poisonous herb that is used in some medication. Too much of the substance can be deadly. The second issue that the FDA found alarming was that the bottles were not child-proof.

Although Hylands claims that you would need to take 750 of the tablets in order to ingest enough belladonna to cause illness or death, the recall is still a necessary action. The UPC codes of the packages which are a part of this recall are as follows:

- Hyland’s Teething Tablets, 125 tablets, UPC # 3 54973 75041
- Hyland’s Teething Tablets, 250 tablets, UPC # 3 54973 75042
