Tylenol Bacteria Scandal


Many types of Johnson & Johnson cold medicine continue to be recalled, as the FDA reports findings that the various types of children's medicine had dangerous amounts of bacteria, many of them under the now troubled Tylenol brand..

The new FDA report found bacteria problems at the McNeil Consumer Healthcare plant in Fort Washington, Pa., and called for recalled products including children and infant formulations of Tylenol, Motrin, Zyrtec and Benadryl. For more information and details on which products were recalled see the link below. The Tylenol children and infant Tylenol liquid is all from a batch made between April 2008 and June 2008, which is when the bacteria traces back to.

Parents: Check your medicine cabinets. Tylenol is quietly recalling batches of children and infant Tylenol liquid made between April 2008 and June 2008 after bacteria was found in one of the raw materials used to make the product. McNeil Consumer Healthcare, the subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson that makes Tylenol, asserts all of its products now on the market are safe and that the bacteria found in the raw material never made it into any of its products.
