On July 8, 2010 FDA reports that McNeil Consumer Healthcare, Division of McNEIL-PPC, Inc., is recalling another 21 lots of over-the-counter medicines, including Benadryl, Children’s Tylenol, Tylenol, and Motrin. This action is a follow-up to the product recall that McNeil Consumer Healthcare earlier this year following consumer complaints of a musty or moldy odor.
These lots are being added to the list of recalled products as a precautionary measure after a continuing internal review determined that some packaging materials used in the lots had been shipped and stored on the same type of wooden pallet that was tied to the presence of TBA in earlier recalled lots.
All lots involved in the recall were produced before the initial January 15, 2010 recall, after which McNeil stopped accepting shipments of materials from its suppliers on that type of pallet. The lots involved are sold in the United States, Fiji, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Trinidad & Tobago, and Jamaica.
Consumers who purchased product from the lots included in this recall should stop using the product. FDA explains that the risk of serious adverse medical events is remote but consumers who have medical concerns or questions should contact their healthcare provider.
The product lot numbers for the recalled products can be found on the side of the bottle label.
