Tylenol Arthritis Caplet voluntary recall expanded
Consumer complaints of a moldy smell as well as stomach pain and nausea lead to a recent voluntary recall of Tylenol Arthritis Caplets manufactured by Johnson and Johnson. The New Jersey based company is “now recalling all product lots of the Arthritis Pain Caplet 100 count bottles with the red EZ-Open Cap,” an expansion from the earlier, more limited recall of only five product lots (12/29, AP for FindLaw).
Thus far, reported side effects have been “temporary and non-serious.” Furthermore, Johnson and Johnson has determined that the moldy odor is a result of the “break down of a chemical used to treat wooden pallets that transport and store packaging materials.”
Although no serious conditions have resulted from this recall, as a Chicago medical malpractice lawyer, I am very pleased to see Johnson and Johnson’s swift and voluntary actions recalling a defective product.
