I can't believe they haven't made a bigger deal about it!
That's a lot of stuff being recalled!

I'm having a heck of a time finding info on their website! Looks like it includes Tylenol, Motrin, Benadryl, Rolaids, Simply Sleep products, and St. Joseph products.

It was down yesterday when I tried to pull it up.

I have one of the affected products. Do I take it back to the store where I bought it from?

My mom left me a message about this and I forgot to go back and hunt down the details. Thanks for reminding me to do so....it does look like a lot of products!!! So they have no idea what the "smell" is?? How scary!

I read something about the smell being from wood pallets, an issue they've known about for over a year ..... here it is: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100116/ap_on_bi_ge/us_johnson___johnson_tylenol_recall

I just tried putting in the lot #s on some of our products that are on the recall list, and it seems that perhaps Canadian products are not part of the affected batches. Anyone up here know more about it?

I tried all the lot numbers of our Tylenol, Motrin and benadryl products, all came back as not recalled.
