McNeil pharmaceutical recalled Tylenol, Motrin and Zyrtec syrup from market. FDA team, while on inspecting j&j plant in Fort Washington; Pa in April, found raw materials being used were contaminated. Certain bacterias were found that could cause infections.
Contaminated raw materials that were supposed to be used for manufacturing some of kids and infants syrup medicines such as tylenol, zyrtec and motrin suspension. FDA official cited saying that although used raw materials were contaminated, produced drug did not show any contamination.
Johnson & Johnson, followed by FDA inspection result, called off thousands of pediatric syrup bottles of Tylenol, Motrin, Zyrtec and Benadryl.
Taking 40 consumers complaints into consideration, FDA commissioner have asked consumers to use generic version of respective drugs.
Quistion rifed around is would consumers get back to brand? As discussed by John Mack, McNeil pharmaceutical silo of j&j may come to rescue j&j, but j&j would not be unhurt at all.
