Tylenol is a top medication used in several forms and areas. The FDA has been recommending a recall as well. In this instance the treatment is for arthritis and the recall appears to have been expanded.
The recall began late last month because of a smell that has been described as “moldy” or “musty“. It is believed that this smell is caused from a chemical called “2,4,6 tribromoanisole“. The overall health concern remains unknown and studies have not been performed to see if any health problems may result.
It can therefore be assumed that, at this time, the large majority of the reason for this recall is smell alone.
Though many describe symptoms including: Nausea, Vomiting, Abdominal pain, Abdominal discomfort, Diarrhea and these symptoms appear to only last for a short period of time.
The bottle for this medication is unique to this brand. Johnson & Johnson has produced a E-Z bottle top that is bright red. The top is larger than a typical top and Caplets of 100 per bottle are seen.
It is recommended that you stop taking this medication immediately and contact the company for the return and refund policy.
