Medicine Recall

In the midst of cold and flu season I somehow missed a massive recall regarding most of the good stuff I keep in my medicine cabinet. My guess is that other moms and dads out there missed it, too. So I’m posting it here, just in case I’m right. (Who am I kidding? Of course I’m right.)

According to KidsHealth.org, “approximately 54 million packages of 27 over-the-counter remedies manufactured by Johnson & Johnson were voluntarily recalled in the Americas, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Fiji by Johnson & Johnson's McNeil Consumer Healthcare Products in consultation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) because of an unusual moldy, musty, or mildew-like odor found in certain lots of the products.”

The recall includes Children’s Motrin, Children’s Tylenol, St. Joseph’s aspirin and several other commonly used pain relievers.
