McNeil Consumer Healthcare Expands Recall of Certain Over-the-Counter Products

McNeil Consumer Healthcare is recalling additional over-the-counter medicines.  This action is a follow-up to a product recall that McNeil originally announced on January 15, 2010, which was initiated following consumer complaints of a musty or moldy odor, which has been linked to the presence of trace amounts of a chemical called 2,4,6-tribromoanisole (TBA). The risk of serious adverse medical events is remote. This recall is being conducted with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

These lots are being added to the list of recalled products as a precautionary measure after a continuing internal review determined that some packaging materials used in the lots had been shipped and stored on the same type of wooden pallet that was tied to the presence of TBA in earlier recalled lots. All lots involved in the recall were produced before the January 15, 2010 recall, after which McNeil stopped accepting shipments of materials from its suppliers on that type of pallet.

For a complete list of products, please visit the McNeil Consumer Healthcare website at www.mcneilproductrecall.com.  Consumers with questions may contact McNeil at 1-888-222-6036.

Schnucks and Logli customers should check for affected products and may return them to their nearest store for a full refund.
