McNeil announces voluntary recall of Tylenol product

FORT WASHINGTON, Pa. In consultation with the Food and Drug Administration, McNeil Consumer Healthcare on Friday initiated a voluntary recall of a limited number of product lots of Tylenol arthritis pain caplet 100-count bottles, with the distinctive red Ez-Open cap.

McNeil is initiating the recall after identifying an uncharacteristic smell or taste associated with these lots that led to a small number of consumers reporting nausea and related symptoms. This recall includes five product lots only and does not include any other lots of Tylenol analgesics. McNeil is implementing this recall as a precaution.

The affected Tylenol arthritis pain caplet 100-count product lot numbers can be found on the side of the bottle label. The affected product lot numbers are: 08BMC013, 08BMC020, 09BMC034, 09CMC036 and 09CMC040.
