12/29/2009-Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) is now recalling all product lots of the Arthritis Pain Caplet 100 count bottles with the red EZ-Open Cap, according to a statement on the Food and Drug Administration website.
The recall was implemented due to a moldy odor that can cause stomach pain and nausea caused by trace amounts of the chemical 2, 4, 6-tribromoanisole resulting from the breakdown of another chemical used to treat wooden pallets.
Side effects also include vomiting and diarrhea, but have been “temporary and non-serious.”
All Tylenol Arthritis products, other than the lots specified, remain available.
