Tylenol Recall – Antibiotic resistant bacteria found in medicines

We received a call on Saturday which informed us that we had purchased Children’s Tylenol products that were now under recall. Although complaints were registered last year about black specs in the medicine, Tylenol as of Monday said that the voluntary recall was not due to “adverse medical events.” Today’s news announced that Johnson & Johnson had discovered Burkholderia cepacia, a bacteria often resistant to common antibiotics, at the plant which produced the recalled products.
