GENTLEASE POWDER INFANT FORMULAM

MEAD JOHNSON RECALLS ONE BATCH OF
GENTLEASE POWDER INFANT FORMULA IN 24 OUNCE CANS
- Batch Number BMJ19 -

(EVANSVILLE, Ind. February 21, 2006) - In keeping with our commitment to provide safe and healthy nutritional products, Mead Johnson Nutritionals is initiating a voluntary recall of one batch of Gentleaseâ„¢ powder infant formula in 24 ounce cans, batch number BMJ19. This action is being taken because a portion of the batch was found to contain metal particles.

In the rare instance that an infant were to aspirate the infant formula into the lungs, some of these particles, if present, could present a serious risk to the babyâ€™s respiratory system. There is also the small risk that these particles could damage the babyâ€™s throat. Mead Johnson is not aware of any infants who have had any of these problems as a result of being fed infant formula from this batch. Any injuries associated with this problem would likely manifest themselves within 3 to 4 hours. If you have any concerns about your babyâ€™s health you should consult your babyâ€™s health professional.

The batch code is located on the bottom of the can. No other Gentleaseâ„¢ batch or infant formula from Mead Johnson Nutritionals is affected by this action. Consumers who have a can of Gentleaseâ„¢ with this batch number should discontinue using the product from the can and call Mead Johnson toll free at 1-888-587-7275. Consumers are asked not to return the product to their retailer.
