Parents and caregivers are being urged to check their babies’ supplements after a product sold through online retailers, including Amazon, was voluntarily recalled because it contains undeclared alcohols that could pose serious health risks to infants.
According to an announcement published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on October 7, 2026, Pacific Health Sciences is recalling one lot of Babies’ Magic Tea brand Baby Sleep Gripe Water after testing identified ethanol, methanol, and isopropanol that were not listed on the product’s label.
The company initially announced the recall on October 6 and subsequently updated its statement to clarify the potential health hazards associated with using the product.

Which Baby Supplement Is Being Recalled?
The recall affects a specific lot of Babies’ Magic Tea brand Baby Sleep Gripe Water, a dietary supplement packaged in a 4-fluid-ounce bottle. Parents and caregivers should look for the following product details:
- Brand: Babies’ Magic Tea
- Product: Baby Sleep Gripe Water
- Lot number: 25122bw
- Best-before date: December 2028
- Package: A 4-fluid-ounce (approximately 118-milliliter) amber bottle inside a blue cardboard box, with an oral syringe included.
The lot number is printed on the bottom of the cardboard box and on a side panel of the bottle.
The affected product was distributed to Secrets of Tea for further distribution through online retailers, including Amazon and the company’s website, SecretsOfTea.com.
Why Is the Baby Supplement Being Recalled?
The FDA’s testing of the affected lot detected three types of alcohol that were not declared on the product label: ethanol, methanol, and isopropanol.
According to the recall announcement, the measured concentrations were approximately 8.3% ethanol, 0.35% methanol, and 0.48% isopropanol.
The presence of these substances may pose a health risk depending on how much of the product is consumed, as well as the age and body weight of the person exposed. The company’s updated hazard statement warns that these organic alcohols can interfere with the normal functioning of the central nervous system.
Ethanol exposure during infancy has also been linked to potential long-term developmental consequences. Even exposure to amounts recommended on the product’s packaging could cause symptoms such as drowsiness, poor coordination, behavioral changes, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
Exposure to larger amounts may increase the risk of respiratory depression and other serious health consequences.
What Should Parents and Caregivers Do?
Consumers who have purchased Babies’ Magic Tea Baby Sleep Gripe Water should check the packaging for lot number 25122bw and stop using the product immediately if it matches the recalled lot.
According to Pacific Health Sciences, consumers should either discard the affected product or return it to the place of purchase for a refund. Anyone who experiences symptoms after using the product should seek medical attention and contact the company.
Parents and caregivers who suspect a baby may have been exposed should consult a healthcare professional promptly, particularly if the child develops unusual sleepiness, vomiting, coordination problems, or changes in breathing.
For questions about the recall or to report a reaction, consumers can contact Pacific Health Sciences at 310-457-1775 or email myorder@pacifichealth.com. The company’s listed contact hours are Monday through Thursday, 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Time.
Has Anyone Reported Adverse Reactions?
As of the recall announcement, Pacific Health Sciences had received no reports of adverse events associated with the affected lot. However, the absence of reported reactions does not mean the product is safe to use. Parents and caregivers should follow the recall instructions and avoid giving the affected supplement to infants.
The FDA announcement specifically identifies lot 25122bw, so consumers should check the lot number rather than assuming every bottle of Babies’ Magic Tea Baby Sleep Gripe Water is included in the recall.
