More Than 60,000 Bottles of Extra-Strength Tylenol Recalled

McNeil Consumer Healthcare, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, is voluntarily recalling 60,912 bottles of extra-strength Tylenol caplets after consumers reported detecting a musty, moldy odor.

Although serious adverse reactions are unlikely, it is possible that people who come in contact with the odor (which has been linked to traces of the chemical tribromoanisole,or TBA) could experience temporary gastrointestinal symptoms.

The recalled products are from lot number ABA619 and have the UPC code 300450444271. These numbers can be found on the side of the bottle label. Consumers who have this product in their possession should stop using it and contact McNeil Consumer Healthcare. Click here for additional recall instructions.
