Consumers who purchased Tylenol Arthritis Pain Caplet 100-count
bottles with the distinctive red easy-open cap from the lots (all)
included in this recall should stop using the product and contact
McNeil for instructions on a refund or replacement. In November
2009, five lots of this product were recalled due to consumer
reports of an unusual moldy, musty or mildew-like odor that was
associated with nausea, stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea. The
odor is caused by the presence of a chemical --
2,4,6-tribromoanisole -- believed to be the breakdown of a chemical
used to treat wooden pallets that transport and store packaging
materials. The health effects of this compound have not been well
studied, and to date all of the observed events reported to McNeil
were temporary and non-serious.
