Qatari health authorities have issued an urgent warning regarding "Babies' Magic Tea Baby Sleep Gripe Water," advising parents to stop using and dispose of the product immediately. Although the tonic is not officially registered for sale in Qatar, officials noted that it remains available through online platforms. The alert follows a similar recall in Dubai, where authorities flagged the product for containing undeclared alcohol levels and lacking proper marketing authorization. Concerns were further heightened by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which discovered undisclosed amounts of ethanol, methanol, and isopropanol in the solution. These substances can impair an infant's central nervous system, potentially leading to symptoms like drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, and, in severe cases, respiratory issues.

This warning is part of a broader, proactive effort by Qatar’s Ministry of Public Health to ensure consumer safety by removing non-compliant medical products from circulation. In recent weeks, the ministry has also recalled batches of Ferinject, Isotears-Plus, and Clasgen eye drops due to concerns over chemical specifications, manufacturing defects, and data integrity issues. Authorities are urging any parents whose children have consumed the recalled gripe water to monitor them closely for symptoms and seek medical advice immediately. By maintaining strict oversight, the ministry continues to emphasize its commitment to safeguarding public health and ensuring that only safe, verified pharmaceuticals remain available to the public.
