\"\"If you are a Tylenol user you should check your medicine cabinet.\u00a0 The makers of the popular painkiller are recalling medications.<\/p>\n

According to the Food and Drug Administration, about 70 people became ill because of a moldy smell coming from the bottles.\u00a0 Reports say the smell may\u00a0come from chemicals\u00a0that are put on the shipping pallets used to send out the meds.\u00a0 Consumers said the odor caused nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain.<\/p>\n

This recent announcement comes on the heels of another massive recall less than two months ago.\u00a0 This time around Tylenol says they are recalling 36,000 boxes that hit stores shelves.\u00a0 Everything from cold medications to allergy pills are on the list of recalled products.<\/p>\n

The odd odor was first reported to Tylenol\u2019s administration in 2008, and it\u2019s not the first time the company has recalled drugs because of the odor, it\u2019s happened six times in the past three years.<\/p>\n

Since the problem has not been adequately dealt with the FDA is now taking over three Tylenol plants to investigate the problem.\u00a0 The FDA admits this is a rare action, but believes two plants in Pennsylvania and one in Puerto Rico need immediate attention.\u00a0 The makers of Tylenol, McNeil PPC (a division of Johnson and Johnson) will have to follow the agencies plans to bring their manufacturing practices back up to federally mandated standards.\u00a0 If the company fails to comply, the FDA could force more recalls and fine the company up to $15,000 each day.\u00a0 Fines could add up to $10 million annually.<\/p>\n

\"\"Tylenol 8 hour, Tylenol Arthritis Pain, Tylenol Sinus, Benadryl, and Sudafed PE are all on the list of recalled products.\u00a0 To see specific lot numbers of recalled products, check Tylenol\u2019s official website.\u00a0 Anyone with recalled pills should not take them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
