Store Brand Acetaminophen Recall Alert
US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is recalling 500mg strength store-brand acetaminophen caplets because of contamination with small metal fragments found in some caplets. If you have bought a store-brand or private label pain reliever acetominophen, please check on the bottle against this list of lot numbers.
The company that produces the caplets for private label sale in stores found that one of the machines used in making the tablet was prematurely wearing down. FDA is also investigating the incident. So far no illnesses (or worse) have been associated with this contamination.
