Tylenol Recall 2009:Tylenol Arthritis Recall – Tylenol Recall 2009 has been expanded to more products.The brand which recalled several drugs back in September such as Tylenol for childrens’ and infants’ have added Tylenol Arthritis Pain caplets to the list.Here is what the manufacturer said in a statement:
In consultation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), McNeil Consumer Healthcare, a Division of McNEIL-PPC, Inc., is voluntarily recalling all currently available bottles of TYLENOLArthritis Pain Caplet 100 count. These bottles can be easily identified by a distinctive red EZ-OPEN CAP. In November 2009, 5 lots of this product were recalled due to consumer reports of an unusual moldy, musty, or mildew-like odor that was associated with nausea, stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea. The recall is being expanded, as a precaution, to include all TYLENOLArthritis Pain Caplet 100 count bottles with the distinctive red EZ-OPEN CAP. Only the TYLENOL Arthritis Pain Caplet 100’s are affected by this action. All other TYLENOL Arthritis Pain products remain available. McNeil Consumer Healthcare will reintroduce the TYLENOL Arthritis Pain Caplet 100 count product by January, 2010.
The uncharacteristic smell is caused by the presence of trace amounts of a chemical called 2,4,6-tribromoanisole. The source of 2,4,6-tribromoanisole is believed to be the breakdown of a chemical used to treat wooden pallets that transport and store packaging materials. The health effects of this compound have not been well studied, and to date all of the observed events reported to McNeil were temporary and non-serious.
If you have purchased TYLENOL Arthritis Pain Caplet 100 count bottles with the EZ-OPEN CAP, you should stop using the product and contact McNeil for instructions on a refund or replacement. For these instructions or information regarding how to return or dispose of the product, please call 1-888-222-6036 (Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern Time, and Saturday-Sunday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Time) or use our email contact form. If you have medical concerns or questions, please contact your healthcare provider.

I have this Tylenol…Are you giving a rebate? What do I do with it?
i have recently purchased a bottle of tylenol arthritis caplets with upc 3 0045-0838-216, lot number 08FMC045 and am advised this is on recall. expiration date is 3/11. I can only take this for arthritis because of bleeding ulcers I cannot take aspirin of any kind. This has worked satisfactorily for me. Please advise what should I do now regarding this recall. Many thanks for a good product.
I have two bottles of Tylenol Arthritis with two different codes purchased on different dates. How do I get relacement product?
I don’t take Tylenol Arthritis on regular basis except when I have to be sitting for long period of time.
I had three episodes in three months of the reaction and couldn’t figure out why!I saw my GI doctor who ordered all three GI tests-gastroscopy, then colonoscopy and GI x-rays- all came out normal! after I heard on the news about the recall, I disposed off the caplets and unnecessarily went thru all the procedures.
