Tylenol Recall 2010: The maker of several over-the-counter drugs, including Tylenol, Motrin and Benadryl, announced a broad-based recall of these and other drugs Friday after receiving complaints of an "unusual moldy, musty or mildew-like" odor.
The recall drew the FDA's wrath on Johnson and Johnson (JNJ, Fortune 500) for not reacting quickly to customer complaints and its failure to fix the problem. The company has struggled to resolve the issue since it was first reported in 2008.
"When something smells bad, literally and figuratively, you aggressively investigate and solve the problem," said Deborah Autor, director of FDA's compliance office.
"The company should have acted faster," Autor said. "All companies have a responsibility to ensure high quality, safety and effectiveness of their products and protect consumers."
McNeil-PPC, the Johnson and Johnson division that manufactured the recalled products, said it received a "small" number of complaints of "non-serious" stomach problems, including nausea, stomach pain, vomiting or diarrhea. However, it did not say when the complaints were received or how many.
