McNeil Consumer Health has issued a voluntary recall of certain over-the-counter products effective January 14, 2011, that include the following:
- Tylenol 8 Hour
- Tylenol Arthritis Pain
- Tylenol Cold
- Tylenol Allergy
- Tylenol Sinus
- Benadryl
- Sinutab Sinus
- Sudafed PE
- Rolaids products
Insufficient cleaning procedures
The recall is based on the company's discovery that there may have been insufficient equipment cleaning procedures, or that the cleaning procedures were not clearly documented. They say that it is unlikely that this impacted the quality of the products but they chose to issue a voluntary recall to alert consumers.
Rolaids
Product labeling on the Rolaids Multi-Symptom Berry Tablets does not include the language "Does not meet USP" as required by regulations, which prompted the recall of this product.
