I have discontinued use of these products but are they issuing refunds? The article seems to suggest that we should dispose of the medicines. And then what? Rebuy them when they are available for purchase again. Considering one of my bottles is virtually brand new, that's not right. I just spent close to $10 on something I have to throw away and rebuy with no compensation from the company?
This has been a bad year for McNeil. This is their second huge recall in less than six months.
