Washington, D.C. — Parents and caregivers are being urged to stop using a baby sleep supplement after testing found three undeclared substances in a recalled lot. Pacific Health Sciences is voluntarily recalling one lot of Babies’ Magic Tea Baby Sleep Gripe Water after testing detected ethanol, methanol and isopropanol that were not listed on the product label.
The recall raises concerns because the product is intended for babies, who may be more vulnerable to potentially harmful substances. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned that the health risk could depend on the amount consumed, as well as the user’s age and body weight.
Which Baby Sleep Supplement Has Been Recalled?
The recall specifically affects 4-ounce amber bottles of Babies’ Magic Tea Baby Sleep Gripe Water from lot No. 25122BW, with a best-before date of December 2028.
The bottles are packaged in blue cardboard boxes and include an oral syringe. Parents and caregivers can identify the affected product by checking the lot number printed on the bottom of the box and on a side panel of the bottle.
Consumers should carefully check these details rather than relying on the product name alone. The recall applies to the identified lot, and the company has not announced that every lot of the product is affected.
FDA Testing Found Three Undeclared Substances
The FDA said testing detected three substances in the recalled supplement that were not disclosed on its label. The reported concentrations were approximately 8.3% ethanol, 0.35% methanol and 0.48% isopropanol.
Ethanol is a type of alcohol, while methanol and isopropanol are different chemical substances with their own potential toxicity concerns. Their presence in a product intended for infants is particularly concerning because exposure risks can vary according to the quantity consumed and the child’s size and age.
The FDA has warned that the substances may pose a health risk depending on the amount of product consumed.
Parents should not assume that a product is safe simply because it is marketed as a baby sleep or gripe water supplement. The discovery of undeclared ingredients means consumers cannot rely on the label alone to understand what is present in the affected lot.
Where Was the Recalled Product Sold?
According to the recall notice, the affected product was distributed to Secrets of Tea for further distribution through online retailers, including SecretsOfTea.com and Amazon.
That means consumers who purchased the supplement online should check their purchase history and inspect the packaging to determine whether they received the recalled lot.
The lot number and best-before date are especially important when checking the product. If the bottle or packaging matches the recall details, parents and caregivers should stop using it immediately.
Pacific Health Sciences said it has not received any reports of adverse events associated with the recalled lot.
However, the absence of reported incidents does not establish that the product is safe to use. The recall is intended to prevent further exposure to the undeclared substances.
What Should Parents and Caregivers Do Now?
Anyone who has purchased Babies’ Magic Tea Baby Sleep Gripe Water should check whether the product belongs to lot No. 25122BW.

If it matches the recalled lot, consumers should take the following steps:
- Stop using the product immediately.
- Discard the affected product or return it to the place of purchase for a refund.
- Keep the product away from children while arranging its return or disposal.
- Seek medical attention if a baby or child develops symptoms after using the product.
- Contact Pacific Health Sciences for further guidance about the recalled lot.
If a child may have swallowed the product and you are concerned about possible exposure, contact a healthcare professional or poison control service promptly rather than waiting for symptoms to appear.
Why This Recall Matters for Families
Products intended for infants require particular care because babies have lower body weights and may respond differently to chemical exposures than adults. Undeclared ingredients can also make it harder for parents and healthcare professionals to assess potential risks.
For families who regularly purchase infant supplements online, the recall is a reminder to check official safety announcements and product identification details whenever a recall is issued.
The immediate priority is to prevent further use of the affected lot and obtain appropriate medical advice if exposure may have occurred.
