Johnson & Johnson recalls Tylenol again
Johnson & Johnson declared that the recall actions from the 15th of June and 8th of July involving Tylenol and some other drugs involved 3 million bottles of medicine.
Johnson & Johnson announced on Thursday the latest recall when 21 lots of medicine were redrawn from the market. All the recalls are related to the company’s massive recall of 53 million bottles that were containing widely used medical substances and were in connection to odors of chemical substances from the pallets that were used to store and transport the bottles of medicine. The recall included Tylenol for children and adults, Benadryl allergy tablets and Motrin painkiller. However the number of the bottles that was affected was not disclosed to the public.
The company has been criticized for not letting any information go public, so the Johnson & Johnson spokesperson came forward on Friday and declared that there were about 2.5 million bottles recalled on Thursday. She also said that on the 15th of June the number of the bottles recalled was around 500,000, together with four lots of Benadryl and a lot of Extra Strength Tylenol gel.
Besides the two recent recalls that were related to the one in January, the company had to issue four more recall actions in the last year, all of them related to quality control and so became subject of an investigation organized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
