Retiran Tylenol y Lipitor contaminados con funguicidas [Nota en Ingles]


Johnson and Johnson’s McNeil Consumer Healthcare has announced yet another recall of a Tylenol-branded product. This time it is recalling Tylenol 8 Hour caplets in 50 count bottles. One lot is affected and is identified as “Lot # BCM155.” The company received complaints about odors from their bottles, similar to complaints about previously recalled Tylenol products.

Pfizer also recalled 191,000 bottles of Lipitor, the statin drug for lowering cholesterol. Their recall affects five lots (0855020, 0819020, 0842020, 0843020, and 0854020) of 40-milligram tablets packaged in 90-count bottles. All have an expiration date of 01/13.

In both cases, the odor was identified as 2,4,6 tribromoanisole, which is thought to come from a fungicide used in shipping packages or pallets. McNeil describes the odor as musty or moldy, but Pfizer simply states that it’s an “uncharacteristic odor.” Both companies say that the odor is unlikely to cause adverse health affects, although there have been complaints of nausea, vomiting, stomach pains and diarrhea with recalled Tylenol products.

Pfizer recommends that patients continue to take Lipitor as prescribed by their doctor, but return the tablets to their pharmacist if they experience an uncharacteristic odor. Pfizer can be contacted about Lipitor by calling 1-888-LIPITOR. McNeil recommends that consumers stop taking the recalled Tylenol and contact the company at their website or 1-888-222-6036 to receive a refund or product coupon.

  3. The product, according to the brand, can be applied
    throughout the day on dry hair if one's hair is medium to very coarse. My hair doesn't always look good when I'm going to attend openings and red carpet events. Generally, these products are more expensive than their watered-down counterparts, but you can find a few affordable pure silicone hair products (see below).
