Tylenol Recall 2010 updates

Tylenol Recall 2010 news updates :- A Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) unit failed to test whether its pain reliever Tylenol was chemically contaminated despite receiving a heightened number of consumer complaints in 2008 that the pills smelled musty, according to a report by U.S. Food and Drug Administration inspectors.

In 2008, J&J’s McNeil Consumer Healthcare received more than 70 musty odor complaints for Tylenol Arthritis Caplets. However, the company didn’t conduct a formal investigation at the time even though more than eight of the complaints suggested the pills caused gastrointestinal problems in patients, the FDA report says.

The report says the company did physically examine whether the moldy odor originated from the presence of microorganisms and concluded it didn’t.

McNeil spokeswoman Bonnie Jacobs said the company has received the FDA report and “is actively working in consultation with the FDA to address their concerns.” She said the company wouldn’t answer other questions at this time.
