Awhile back in April 2010 there was a recall on children & infants Tylenol, Motrin, etc:
From the McNeil Product Recall website:
"McNeil Consumer Healthcare Announces Voluntary Recall of Certain OTC Infants’ and Children's Products
Fort Washington, PA (April 30, 2010) – McNeil Consumer Healthcare, Division of McNEIL-PPC, Inc., in consultation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is voluntarily recalling all lots that have not yet expired of certain over-the-counter (OTC) Children’s and Infants’ liquid products manufactured in the United States and distributed in the United States, Canada, Dominican Republic, Dubai (UAE), Fiji, Guam, Guatemala, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Panama, Trinidad & Tobago, and Kuwait. (SEE RECALLED PRODUCT LIST BELOW).
McNeil Consumer Healthcare is initiating this voluntary recall because some of these products may not meet required quality standards. This recall is not being undertaken on the basis of adverse medical events. However, as a precautionary measure, parents and caregivers should not administer these products to their children. Some of the products included in the recall may contain a higher concentration of active ingredient than is specified; others may contain inactive ingredients that may not meet internal testing requirements; and others may contain tiny particles. While the potential for serious medical events is remote, the company advises consumers who have purchased these recalled products to discontinue use.
The company is conducting a comprehensive quality assessment across its manufacturing operations and has identified corrective actions that will be implemented before new manufacturing is initiated at the plant where the recalled products were made.
Consumers can contact the company at 1-888-222-6036 and also at www.mcneilproductrecall.com. Parents and caregivers who are not sure about alternative pediatric health treatment options should talk to their doctor or pharmacist and are reminded to never give drug products to infants and children that are not intended for those age groups as this could result in serious harm.

You can get a refund of an average price or choose to get coupons up to a certain value.
I got my coupons in the mail today. They came pretty quickly and don't expire until May 2012! I got 2 valued at $8.00 and 3 valued at $7.00. Assuming that the $8.00 was for the Tylenol and the $7.00 for the Motrin.
If you need to enter in your product information and ask for a rebate
GO HERE to do that.
I asked for coupons instead of a check because I am hoping to use them on a sale at Walgreens so I can make money off of them by getting a register reward back.
For example: BUY 3 Tylenol get a $5.00 RR.
I would then use 3 of my coupons to get them for FREE plus $5.00 back in Register Rewards.
This is only my plan unless my daughter needs the medecine sooner! :)
