In another Friday recall, back on January 14, Johnson & Johnson recalled another 47 million units of various due to ongoing quality and contamination issues. These batches came out of the same manufacturing facility that has produced contaminated batches of Tylenol for the last several years. The January 14th recall covers J&J’s Tylenol, Benadryl, Sudafed, Sinutab and Rolaids brands that are sold in the United States and Latin America.
J&J claims that the products were produced prior to April 2010, however it emphasized that consumer health was not at risk. J&J admitted that the products were not tested.
J&J is recalling the products at the “wholesale level.” The company is encouraging consumers who may have purchased the products to continue using them. My advice to any consumers that have any J&J products on their shelves is to throw the medication out and start over.
It’s your health, and you just can’t trust it to Johnson & Johnson.
