Tylenol Recall Has Been Expanded to Include All Arthritis Pain Caplet 100 Count Bottles With Red EZ-OPEN CAP

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.
