More Tylenol bottles recalled due to musty odor
Source: cbs/AP



WASHINGTON - Health care products maker Johnson & Johnson recalled another lot of Tylenol on Tuesday due to a musty odor which has already triggered five other recalls of the company's over-the-counter medicines.

The latest recall involves more than 34,000 bottles of Tylenol 8 Hour Extended Release, which were distributed throughout the U.S. All of the products come from lot number ADM074, which appears on the bottom of the bottles.

It's the sixth time that the New Brunswick, N.J.-based company has recalled nonprescription medicines because of complaints about an unpleasant odor.

1. Wow, J&J has gotten hammered
Maybe this will finally make them see the light: you can't outsource the production of medicines and expect to keep the same level of quality. They had to pull Children's Zyrtec off the market last year while they bring manufacturing of that product back in-house due to quality issues.

2. Probably has all or most ingredients from China. God only knows what all
our bodies have been taking in since all those laws we used to have stopped protecting us due to NAFTA.

3. At Least No One Was Harmed
What is important is the contaminated products did not make it to retailers and no consumers were harmed by taking the pills.
