J&J Recalls Tylenol Again

Tylenol recall 2010

The Food and Drug Administration on Nov 27 posted a firm notice dated on Nov 24 on its website  saying that McNeil Consumer Healthcare, a division of Johnson & Johnson, is calling three Tylenol Cold Multi-Symptom liquid medications because of some labeling issue.

The notice quickly says that the recall has nothing to do with any adverse events and the Tylenol products are safe to use.

This recall, instead, is due to labeling errors. As the company put it, the Tylenol products contain less than 1 percent of alcohol, which is okay to use as an ingredient. 

The problem is that alcohol was labeled as an inactive ingredient on the package, but not on the front panel of the products, which is against the FDA regulations, according to aboutlawsuits.com.

The recalled Tylenol products were sold both at wholesale and retail levels.

While the company is recalling the Tylenol products, it also says consumers can continue using the  products and they don't have to do anything about the recalled products.

Anyone who has any questions may still call NcNeil Consumer Healthcare Consumer Care Center at 1-888-222-6036.

The recall came days after McNeil pulled 4 million packs of children Benadryl and 800,000 bottles of junior-strength Motrin because these products failed to meet manufacturing standards, according to aboutlawsuits.com. That recall was also done at both wholesale and retail levels, and consumers are not at risk from using the recalled Tylenol products.

The currently recalled Tylenol products include Tylenol Col Multi-Symptom Daytimw 8 Oz Citrus Burst Liquid with NDC code # 50580-257-08, Tylenol Cold Multi-Symptom Severe 8 Oz Cool Burst Liquid with NDC code # 50580-351-08 and Tylenol cold Multi-Symptom Nighttime 8 Oz Cool Burst Liquid with NDC code # 50580-269-08.
