The caplets have been stated to cause sickness after ingesting the pills and there is a prominent musty or moldy odor coming from the bottles according to reports. Johnson and Johnson’s McNeil Consumer Healthcare unit was receiving complaints from people who reported nausea, stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea after consuming the pills. It is the fifth time that Johnson and Johnson have issued a recall on one of their nonprescription medicine such as Tylenol, Benadryl and Motrin because of complaints about an unpleasant odor. The product was identified as the Tylenol eight-hour caplets sold in the 50-count bottles in the United States and Puerto Rico. According to Johnson and Johnson, the odor was caused by a chemical called 2, 4, 6-tribromoanisole. The affected Tylenol bottles are labeled lot number BCM155, UPC code 30045-0297-518, according to the Tylenol website.
If you or a family member has used to caplets involved in the recall and are feeling the adverse affects, you should contact a doctor immediately. It was not stated in the article whether or not the affected consumers have faced any serious long-term health impairments. Elderly individuals or those who have suffered other serious health problems are especially vulnerable to these types of illnesses caused by defective over the counter medicine.
