McNeil v. Congress – Round 1

Looks like McNeil Consumer Healthcare is getting more of the wrong kind of exposure. The first congressional hearing was held last week on May 27th to examine what is going on inside McNeil’s production facilities. After a massive recall of their liquid medicine products like Tylenol, Zyrtec, Benedryl and Motrin, McNeil has come under increasing pressure with each new revelation of problems at their plants.

The FDA recently received documents from McNeil showing a “phantom recall” back in 2008 when they had a problem with Motrin. Rather than issue a recall to the public, they sent contractors to stores to buy up the products rather than face a PR nightmare. (link)

Liquid Tylenol (and other children’s medicine) Recall

A number of products are being voluntarily recalled by McNeil Consumer Healthcare due to poor quality control introducing too much or too little of the active ingredient, as well as some contamination of the medicine by bacteria. In some cases black flecks are visible in the liquid. The products include certain liquid infant’s and children’s Tylenol®, Motrin®, Zyrtec®, and Benadryl® products. For a full listing please visit McNeil’s recall website.

The company’s press release states:

“The company is conducting a comprehensive quality assessment across its manufacturing operations and has identified corrective actions that will be implemented before new manufacturing is initiated at the plant where the recalled products were made.”
