Uh-oh.
McNeil Consumer Healthcare just announced they are recalling “four product lots of BENADRYL® ALLERGY ULTRATAB™ TABLETS, 100 count, sold in the U.S.; and one product lot of EXTRA STRENGTH TYLENOL® Rapid Release Gels, 50 count sold in the U.S., Trinidad and Tobago, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico… This recall is a follow-up to the product recall that McNeil Consumer Healthcare announced on January 15th, 2010 and is being taken because the products were inadvertently omitted from the initial recall action.”
The current recall is for…
| Product Name | Product Form | Lot Number | NDC Number | UPC Code |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BENADRYL Allergy ULTRATAB Tablets 100 count | Ultratab Tablet | AJA008, ADA194, ABA022, ABA264 | 50580-226-10 | 312547170338 |
| EXTRA STRENGTH Tylenol Rapid Release Gels 50 count | Rapid Release Gelcap | ASA202 | 50580-488-50 | 300450488503 |
The FDA release says… “the January 15th, 2010 recall was initiated as a result of consumer complaints of a musty or moldy odor that has since been linked to the presence of trace amounts of a chemical called 2,4,6-tribromoanisole (TBA). After a thorough investigation, it was determined that the source of TBA was the result of a breakdown of a chemical that is applied to wood used to build wooden pallets that transport and store product packaging materials.”
The original recall list is a touch longer…

I was wondering if you ever thought about changing the layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a tiny more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
