11 Million Bottles Of Acetaminophen Caplets Recalled In USA
Eleven million bottles of store-brand acetaminophen (paracetamol) caplets have been recalled by Perrigo Co. of Allergan, Michigan, the makers, saying that they may be contaminated with metal fragments - the fragments may be inside the caplets themselves.
So far, authorities have received no reports of illnesses. The FDA says the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
The metal fragments were found by Perrigo Co. employees during their own regulatory quality control procedures. Perrigo Co. is the world's largest producer of store-brand OTC medications. (OTC = Over-the-counter, non-prescription drug). |
You can see if you have an affected bottle by locating the batch number printed on the container label.
A list of batch numbers affected by the recall is posted at:
