Drug Recall for Tylenol, Motrin, Benadryl, Rolaids

Tylenol.jpgTylenol, Motrin and Benadryl and several other over the counter drugs have been recalled after complaints of the pills having an unusual mildew odor leading to gastrointestinal problems. The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) has cracked down on the manufacturer Johnson and Johnson for not responding to these complaints and for a delay in resolving the issue that was first exposed in 2008. Consequently the FDA is giving the company 15 days to correct the problem as well as prevent future violations in addition to warning them of legal action, sanctions, and injunctions.

Recalled products include: Benedryl allergy ultratab tablets, junior strength Motrin, children’s Tylenol grape meltaway tablets, extra strength Tylenol, extra strength Tylenol rapid release gelcaps, extra strength Tylenol PM geltabs, Motrin caplets, extra strength Rolaids fresh mint tablets, extra strength Tylenol rapid release gelcaps, and St. Joseph Aspirin chewable orange tablets.
