More Products, Including Tylenol Extra Strength and Rolaids, Recalled Due to Noxious Chemical Fears
###
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration slammed Tylenol manufacturer McNeil Healthcare LLC during a media briefing this morning for what it called a slow response to problems at a facility in Puerto Rico that led to consumers becoming sickened by tainted pills.
"McNeil should have acted faster," said Deborah Autor, director of the FDA's Office of Compliance, of the arm of Johnson & Johnson that manufactures Tylenol products, adding "When something smells bad, literally or figuratively, they must aggressively investigate and solve the problem."
A recall of Tylenol products that began last month with the popular Tylenol arthritis caplet expanded this morning to include more than two dozen other over-the-counter products manufactured by McNeil.

Called the number and was told that due to the volume of calls they were unable to take my call.
Called the local Pathmark super market where I made the purchase and they insisted ‘they know nothing’.
Best that your pregnant wife take none of those products by any manufacturer.
I saw that earlier, but didn’t read the article.
I think he’s going to first order an infiltrator onto the birther threads to check on a poster by the name of starwise...lol.
You’re kidding .. was it after 5?
Perhaps there’s a form on the website.
I’ll try that tomorrow.
LOL .. don’t let them taze me, sis ..
I’m stunned that a big bottle of Tylenol
I’ve had for probably more than 6 mos. from
Costco is on the list.
I hear they reprogram you.
I’ll have to wait until you start talking like a democrat to know you’ve been captured and reprogrammed.
I’m not really laughing.
In fact, we belong on that thread, Missy.
Both calls were made this morning when I saw the info online.
This is just awful.
My new grandbaby was given baby Tylenol following her first inoculation. She had big time stomach upset following the dose and of course, my son thought it was from the shot. Most likely it was from the Tylenol.
Not enough for the FDA to criticize them for slow response. They need to be fined, big time.
And I’m a stock holder. But I don’t care, they need to take a big hit for this danger to everyone using any of their products.
I have a busy day tomorrow .. cooking for a belated Christmas celebration on Sunday ...sweet sleep, dear O .. ;) Be alert for all developments ..
I’m going too. See you tomorrow.
Prayers for you and HUGS.
Oh no .. that’s awful. Poor little one.
How long did the problem last ?
You’re right .. there needs to be
suitable accountability here by the
FDA.
I just took 2 of those Tylenol today for
my aching knee .. I rarely take them, but
have had no problems at any time with it.
God bless you little one .. keep us posted
on what you hear .. I’ll do the same.
Extra-Strength Tylenol.....Lot # checked...close, but not the exact #.
Baby was only upset for a couple of hours. Can you imagine. She got the shot early afternoon. Had the Baby Tylenol when they brought her home and she didn’t settle down till about 9 pm.
She’s been fine since. But this makes me so mad.
I just bought a bottle of Tylenol a few weeks ago for the first time. I usually use Advil. I never even opened the Tylenol.
As far as J&J, NO EXCUSES. All this nonsense that the people were only sick for a day so it’s not so bad. Oh really. Vomiting, diarrhea ONLY for a day. People take any one of those products because they aren’t feeling well in the first place and then they were REALLY not feeling well.
The problems were linked to the presence of a chemical called 2,4,6-tribromoanisole (TBA), which results from the breakdown of a chemical in wood pallets used to transport and store packaging materials for the drugs.
It's a breakdown product of 2,4,6-trichloroanisaole (TCA), a wood preservative.
It has an unusual moldy, musty, or mildew-like odor. A whine con-uh-sewer might say it's corked...
