McNeil announces recall of Tylenol, other OCT medicines
July 13th, 2010
Johnson & Johnson’s McNeil Consumer Healthcare announced Thursday it is recalling 21 lots of over-the-counter medicines, including widely used Tylenol.
The lots involved are sold in the United States, Fiji, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Trinidad & Tobago, and Jamaica.
This action is a follow-up to a product recall that McNeil Consumer Healthcare originally announced on January 15, which was initiated following consumer complaints of a musty or moldy odor, which has been linked to the presence of trace amounts of a chemical called 2,4,6-tribromoanisole (TBA), J&J said in a release.
It said these lots are being added to the list of recalled products as a precautionary measure after a continuing internal review determined that some packaging materials used in the lots had been shipped and stored on the same type of wooden pallet that was tied to the presence of TBA in earlier recalled lots.
