Johnson & Johnson recalls Tylenol, Benadryl lots
Johnson & Johnson on Friday announced another voluntary recall, this time involving certain lots of Tylenol, Benadryl and other products.
The company has recently issued a number of recalls. The latest, announced by its McNeil Consumer Healthcare division, involves products made before April 2010, at its facility in Fort Washington, Penn., which has been at the centre of the company's problems.
Johnson & Johnson said the recall was a precautionary measure after a review of production records "found instances where equipment cleaning procedures were insufficient or that cleaning was not adequately documented."
It said it was "very unlikely" product quality was affected.
The latest recall followed by one day the announcement of a lawsuit against the firm and two subsidiaries by Oregon Attorney General John Kroger, claiming consumers were exposed to defective supplies of Motrin by a delay in public disclosure of a recall.
Kroger said Wednesday the health-care products company tried to quietly remove Motrin from store shelves in a "phantom recall" without telling consumers. The action has been the subject of a congressional investigation.
