More on the recall:

**NOTE: I thought Motrin was in the copy I first
saw, but then when I went to the site, it was not
shown amongst the products, so I didn’t include it
in the original post.

Now MOTRIN IS named again, so I feel confident it
IS on the recall list.

CHECK YOUR BOTTLE LOT #’S .. I have one that I
purchased over 6 months ago.

Johnson & Johnson issued a massive recall Friday of over-the-counter drugs including Tylenol, Motrin and St. Joseph’s aspirin because of a moldy smell that has made people sick.

It was the second such recall in less than a month because of the smell, which regulators said was first reported to McNeil in 2008. Federal regulators criticized the company, saying it didn’t respond to the complaints quickly enough, wasn’t thorough in how it handled the problem and didn’t inform the Food and Drug Administration quickly.

The recall includes some batches of regular and extra-strength Tylenol, children’s Tylenol, eight-hour Tylenol, Tylenol arthritis, Tylenol PM, children’s Motrin, Motrin IB, Benadryl Rolaids, Simply Sleep, and St. Joseph’s aspirin.

In its statement, the company advised consumers who purchased the affected products to stop using them and contact McNeil for information about how to get a refund or a replacement.

The company provided the address for its Web site,

(888) 222-6036.

I just called them ... I did a #67 to block my number,
followed the prompts to receive a coupon, choose my
product, punched in the lot # and exp date, got the
confirmation it was on the recall list, and spoke the
description and size of the bottle.

You’re asked to either let them use the public info for
your address or say the address, which I did. Your info
is played back for confirmation, and you’re told you’ll
receive a coupon in 3 to 4 weeks.

So, it appears to be a straightforward process.

Well that’s great. Now I have to go dumpster diving and get the stuff I tossed last night.

Good to see they are making good on their mistake.

What about the generics?

Thanks for that info. We have Tylenol to swapout here, not sure if the Rolaids was bad.. it worked. :-)

I cannot believe this crap. I have 5 bottles of their stuff, two of which(rolaids) had made my stomach worse. I used another product on top of that.

Benadryl and Tylenol are on the list of course and I am sitting here trying to remember if there are more somewhere else, like my house.

That’s fifty bucks of their stuff all bought at different times that are recalled.

These guys need to pay and it should be enough that it is seared into their memory, not to every do it again.

I still have friends who won’t touch Tylenol after the 1980’s incidents.
