Johnson & Johnson has issued a recall for more than 700,000 bottles or packages of Tylenol and other consumer medicines. J&J's McNeil Consumer Healthcare unit recalled one lot of Tylenol 8 Hour Extended Release Caplets, or 34,056 bottles, from retailers, citing a musty odor like the one that has prompted many other J&J recalls.
The odor is thought to be caused by trace amounts of a chemical used to treat wooden pallets on which bottles are stored and shipped. Some people have experienced nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, or diarrhea.
McNeil added 10 lots of other products, amounting to 717,696 bottles or packages, to a wholesale level recall it initiated in January. Those products include various forms of pain reliever Tylenol, as well as allergy drug Benadryl and cough/cold medicine Sudafed.
The drugs were manufactured at a Fort Washington, Pa. plant that is now closed. In the past 15 months, Johnson & Johnson has recalled more than 300 million bottles and packages of adult and children's consumer medicines.
