The 2009 Tylenol recall has been expanded to include all Arthritis Pain caplet 100 count bottles with red EZ-OPEN CAP. The FDA issued a statement announcing the expanded recall by Mcneil Consumer Healthcare.
5 lots of the product were originally recalled in November due to reports of an unusual moldy, musty, or mildew-like odor that produced symptoms such as nausea, stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea.
The symptoms are caused by trace amonts of the chemical 2,4,6-tribromoanisole used in the treatment of wooden pallets that carry and store packaging material.
The FDA warns consumers who have purchased Tylenol Arthritis Pain Caplet 100 count bottles with the distinctive red EZ-OPEN CAP from the lots included in the recall should stop using the product and contact Mcneil for instructions on a refund or disposal of the product.
A full list of the products involved in the Tylenol recall can be found on the Tylenol website.

Pecan Tassies or Mini Pecan Pies Recipe
This pecan tassies or mini pecan pies recipe was given to me years ago by my good friend in Alabama. It is a Christmas favorite at our house. I usually use muffin liners because it is easier! Hope you enjoy!
Ingredients-
2 sticks (1 cup) margarine 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
2 (3 oz) pkgs cream cheese dash of salt
2 cups sifted all purpose flour 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 tbsps butter or margarine
3 tsps vanilla
Let margarine and cream cheese soften in mixing bowl at room temperature for about 1 hour. Blend together. Add flour in fourths, blending thoroughly after each addition. Work with fingers into smooth, blended dough. Chill for easier shaping. Shape dough into 48 – 1 inch balls. Place in ungreased 1 3/4 inch muffin pans. Muffin liners may be used. With thumbs, press dough against bottom and sides lining up evenly.
Beat eggs only enough to mix yolk with white. Add brown sugar gradually, beating well after each addition. Add butter, salt and vanilla. Mix well.
Divide 1/2 pecans among shells. Spoon about 1 1/2 tsps filling over pecans in each shell, then sprinkle with remaining nuts.
Bake in 325 degree oven for 25-30 minutes, till filling is set and pastry golden. Cool. Carefully remove from pans to racks.
The pecan tassies or mini pecan pies also freeze well!
