Tylenol Recall

Johnson and Johnson Tylenol Recall

Johnson & Johnson today announced that they are recalling even more Tylenol, after musty or moldy orders were reported coming from several bottles of the company’s pain relief drug. Approximately 128,000 bottles of the over-the-counter drug has been recalled in today’s actions.

The affected Tyleno,l this time, is the adult strength, eight hour pills which have been sold in 50 count bottles. The pills were all produced at the Fort Washington, Pennsylvania plant back in March, and sold throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. The plant has since been shut down by Johnson and Johnson, after the Food and Drug Administration found issues involving grime, dirt, and possible contaminated ingredients. These actions come on the eve of Johnson and Johnson reporting their 3rd quarter earnings.

This happens to be the third recall by Johnson and Johnson in the last year regarding drugs which had moldy smells coming from the bottles. Pfizer also recently had a recall with similar smells coming from the bottles in which their drugs were sold in.

Johnson and Johnson is located in New Brunswick, NJ, and employs over 118,000 people. The company had over $61 billion in sales last year, and a $15.7 billion operating income. They make dozens of popular consumer brands including Acuvue, Band-Aid, Benadryl, Bengay, Lactaid, Pepcid, Motrin, Purell, Tylenol, and Visine.
