1-17-2010 Tylenol Products being recalled by Johnson and Johnson continue to be in the news. Ever since last Sept, 2009, the companies many products( over 60 million ) have been experiencing something causing them to smell bad. From what I have read it may not be the products themselves but contamination in their packages. Suspected is chemical breakdown from the wood pallets and other packaging materials. It is called, 2,4,6, Tribromoanisole or TBA. Products include, Tylenol, Motrim, Benadryl, Rolaids, and St. Joseph Aspirin. You can find the lot numbers on the company website. This has resulted in a major PR. headache for the company. But the recall was voluntary. No one has been serious injured or died. Not as bad as the 1982 murders that still remain unsolved. Seven people died in the Chicago area when some unknown person put Potassium Cyanide in Tylenol capsules. |
