FDA Says Tylenol Maker Knew of Contamination
Inspectors with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) say McNeil Consumer Healthcare knowingly used bacteria-contaminated materials to make the children’s pain, cold, and Allergy medications that the company voluntarily recalled this week. FDA officials say that though the known risk to consumers is “remote,” they say they have “theoretical concerns” about the safety of the 1,500 lots of children’s and infants’ Tylenol, Motrin, Zyrtec, Benadryl, and other products. McNeil Consumer Healthcare has suspended production at the plant in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania where the medications were manufactured.
