Johnson& Johnson is recalling even more of their products. According to the Washington Post, they are having to recall 60,000 bottles of Tylenol Extra Strength Caplets. (See Lot # Below)
There were complaints of musty and moldy odors which have been linked to trace amounts of a chemical preservative called TBA. Although the risk of serious side effects is small, there is a chance of temporary and mild GI symptoms.
| Product Name | Lot Number | UPC Code |
| TYLENOL®, Extra Strength Caplets, 225 count | ABA619 | 300450444271 |
This chemical was also found in Tylenol 8 Hour Extended Release Caplets (See Lot # Below)
This follows the recall of tens of millions of bottles of infant's, children's, and adult Tylenol and Motrin that occurred in 2009. I grew up on Johnson&Johnson products and thought my children would do the same. However, given their recalls over the past couple of years and the accusation that their Tearless Shampoo and Body Wash contains methylene chloride, an ingredient banned by the FDA in cosmetics because it’s linked to cancer,I completely eliminated Johnson&Johnson products from my house. Thankfully for Melaleuca, I have replaced my children's body wash and shampoo with non-toxic and natural alternatives. Since they are also a registered pharmaceutical company I also replaced my Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen, Allergy, Sinus & Cold, and my son's Acetaminophen as well. Melaleuca has become the name brand my children will SAFELY grow up on and I can watch them do so with peace of mind! |
