Recall, Otc Drug Recall | featured news

Johnson & Johnson said on Wednesday that it was recalling 9 million more bottles of its Tylenol painkiller because they did not adequately warn customers about the presence of trace amounts of alcohol used in the product flavorings.

Johnson & Johnson provided additional details on Friday about its two most recent recalls of Tylenol and other over-the-counter drugs, saying the actions on Thursday and June 15 involved a total of about 3 million bottles of the medicines.

The maker of Benadryl and Tylenol has added five lots of the popular over-the-counter drugs to its growing list of recalled products, McNeil Consumer Healthcare announced Wednesday in a written statement.

Consumers should stop using certain lots of infants’ and children’s Tylenol, Motrin, Zyrtec and Benadryl because they may contain too much of the active ingredient.
