So they give an NDC Number, but they don't label on the box where the NDC number is, and they did not use the lot number which is the only number I can identify on the bottles I have... HELP! Cause I am going to lose a lot of money if I have to throw all of what i have out...we buy at Sam's and have Tylenol, Motrin and Benadryl...

Is this the number in the little box?

What can I do next?

The NDC number is right above the brand name on the front of the bottle.
The numbers are really little.

The NDC (National Drug Code) number will be on the label near the top. It is a series of numbers that looks like XXXXX-YYYY-ZZ (5 digits-4 digits-2 digits). There may be a digit missing from one of the 3 parts of the NDC number, if there is then you add a leading "0" there. The lot number is usually right above or beside the expiration date. Sometimes the lot number with have letters mixed in. Hope this helps.

The NDC number is going to be the small number that usually appears in the top right hand corner of the label. If you have the products in your house, don't throw them away, take them back to the store where you bought them and they should refund your money because Mcneil will reimburse them. No reason for you to lose money!!

Take the bottles back to the store where you bought them and they should refund your money. even if they have been opened..since it is a recall.

Look right above the name of the medicine on the front. I bought Motrin Thursday and mine is on the recall list. I emailed the company to find out what I should do with the medicine, because I'm not so sure Walmart will accept it back, now that it's open and has been used a couple of times.

The NDC number is on the front of the bottle, it is usually on the upper right side above the name....like Children's TYLENOL...it is confusing and first I was just checking the lot numbers on the back label...then in small print I saw where you are supposed to check for the NDC number. I hope this helps. ALSO, you can be reimbursed or receive a coupon for a free bottle go to their site and click on CONTACT US and send them info...you will have to have the NDC number AND the Lot numbers on your bottles so DO NOT discard until you get them.

The NDC number is on the bottle, on the front of the label...usually upper right hand corner. My checked my Tylenol and Motrin (both bought at Sam's) and both of ours are on the recall. But hang on to the ones bought at Sam's. They have sent us a letter in the mail and offered us a refund/exchange on recalled medicine before.
