Important Product Recall: Tylenol 8 hour caplets
Product Recall:
On October 19, 2010 McNeil Consumer Healthcare, the company behind Tylenol, has issued a voluntary recall of 128,000 bottles of Tylenol 8-Hour caplets after receiving a small amount of complaints of a musty odor smelled upon opening bottles. Tylenol has narrowed such smell to the wood pallets used to store the product on at the manufacturing facility; McNeil has confirmed through a initial product investigation the product was indeed okay, yet the foul odor has prompted the recall. Such chemical odor from the wooden pallets is known as 2,4,6-tribromoanisole. No customers have been sickened from the product as of the current date but McNeil advises consumers to stop using the products included in today’s recall.
