• Pacific Health Sciences is recalling one lot of Babies' Magic Tea Baby Sleep Gripe Water after testing found undeclared ethanol, methanol, and isopropanol.
• Check the box and bottle for lot 25122bw and a best-before date of 12/2028. The recalled product comes in a 4 fl oz amber bottle inside a blue box.
• Stop using the affected product. Discard it or return it to the place of purchase, and seek medical attention if a child develops symptoms after using it.

What happened in the Babies’ Magic Tea recall?

Pacific Health Sciences is voluntarily recalling one lot of Babies’ Magic Tea brand Baby Sleep Gripe Water in the United States. The company announced the recall on October 6, 2026, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration published the notice on October 7, 2026.

The recall affects a 4 fl oz, approximately 118 mL, bottle sold as a dietary supplement. FDA testing found ethanol, methanol, and isopropanol that were not declared on the product label. The reported levels were approximately 8.3% ethanol, 0.35% methanol, and 0.48% isopropanol.

The potential risk depends on how much was consumed and the age and body weight of the person who used it. Pacific Health Sciences said it had not received reports of adverse events associated with the recalled lot as of October 6, but parents and caregivers should not continue using the product.

How to identify the recalled gripe water

Do not rely on the product name alone. Check the lot information on the actual package. The recall applies to the following product:

The lot number appears on the bottom of the cardboard box and on a side panel of the bottle. If you still have the box, compare both locations. If either package shows lot 25122bw, treat it as recalled even if the bottle looks normal or has not passed its best-before date.

What parents and caregivers should do now

1. Stop using the product

Do not give the recalled gripe water to a baby or child, and do not use a partial bottle. Keep it away from children while you decide whether to discard it or return it.

2. Discard it or request a refund

Pacific Health Sciences says consumers should either discard the affected product or return it to the place of purchase for a refund. If you purchased it online, save the order confirmation and take a photo of the lot number before disposing of the bottle. The recall notice says the product was distributed through Secrets of Tea for later sale by online retailers, including Amazon.

For questions or to report a reaction directly to Pacific Health Sciences, the recall notice lists 310-457-1775 and myorder@pacifichealth.com. The listed phone hours are Monday through Thursday, 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Time.

3. Get medical help if your child has symptoms

If a child develops symptoms after using the product, contact a health professional promptly and tell them the product name, lot number, approximate amount used, and when it was given. Seek emergency care for severe or rapidly developing symptoms.

The FDA notice does not provide a symptom checklist specific to this recall. That means caregivers should not try to judge the risk only by whether the child appears well immediately afterward. A clinician can decide what follow-up is appropriate based on the child, the amount, and the timing.

4. Report a suspected reaction

U.S. consumers can report a suspected serious reaction or product problem through the FDA’s Safety Reporting Portal. Reporting does not require you to prove that the product caused the reaction.

What this means for U.S. and Canadian families

The FDA notice concerns a U.S. recall and says the affected product was distributed through online retailers. U.S. shoppers should use the lot number and best-before date above, then follow the refund or disposal instructions.

Canadian families who bought the product online or through a cross-border seller should stop using it if the package matches the recalled lot. Keep the purchase record, contact the seller, and search Canada’s official recalls database for any Canadian notice or update. If a child had a reaction, Health Canada provides a separate reporting process for health and safety concerns.

What has not been announced

The FDA notice identifies one recalled lot. It does not announce a recall of every Babies’ Magic Tea product, every lot of Baby Sleep Gripe Water, or every gripe-water product sold by other brands. It also does not announce a replacement product or a new safe-use recommendation from Pacific Health Sciences.

Until the company or FDA provides additional information, the safest practical step is to avoid the affected lot entirely and use only products recommended by your child’s health professional when your baby has feeding, gas, sleep, or other symptoms.
