Johnson & Johnson and Children's Medicines - Research Paper Example

 But the company refused to identify what these specific problems actually were while simultaneously insisting that they are still safe and that consumers are not required to do anything in response to the recall.

A Reuters report indicates that at least some of the drugs involved in the recall were produced by an unidentified "third party", which likely means they came from production facilities overseas. In fact, the report itself was released out of Bangalore, India, so this may have been the original source of contamination. Other reports state that the Benadryl and Motrin were produced in the U.S.

McNeil Consumer Healthcare, the division of J&J that produces the drugs in question, did not issue an official press release for the current recall because it insists that the products still meet quality standards, despite the recall. It instead posted an announcement on its website that the products would simply be removed from retail and wholesale vendors. Earlier in the year, NaturalNews covered how McNeil was exposed for knowingly selling the tainted products involved in the first recall after discovering they were contaminated. Since that time, the Pennsylvania production facility where the tainted drugs were being produced has been shut down in order to address safety problems.
