'' The products being recalled were distributed in the United States , Puerto Rico , Bahamas , Fiji , Belize , St. Lucia and Jamaica . `` This is not a consumer level recall , which means that consumers do not need to dispose of or return the product , '' according to a statement from J & J 's McNeil Consumer Healthcare Division . `` There is no safety concern if consumers continue taking the product in accordance with its label ; however , it is possible there may be a delay in experiencing relief . '' CNN 's Alta Spells contributed to this report .
