Hyland's teething tablets recalled

A brand of teething tablets is being recalled in Canada and the United States because they may pose a risk to children.

Hyland's Homeopathic Canada, a division of Standard Homeopathic Company, is voluntarily recalling Hyland's Teething Tablets because they could harm infants and toddlers, according to tests done by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The tablets contain a small amount of belladonna, which can cause serious harm in larger doses, Health Canada said in a release.

The FDA has had reports of serious adverse events in children taking this product that are consistent with belladonna toxicity, although there have been no conclusive links.

Health Canada has not received word of any adverse reactions regarding the tablets.

The homeopathic product, sold over the counter in pharmacies, retail stores and on the internet, is intended to provide temporary relief of symptoms related to teething in children.

Hyland's Teething Tablets (125 tablets, DIN 01956485) are manufactured in the U.S. and distributed throughout North America, including in Canada.
