Kids' Tylenol Sold Products That Contained Metal Particles

How come there were no criminal charges levied against these child abusers????




A subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson pleaded guilty Tuesday to a federal criminal charge that it sold over-the-counter infant's and children's liquid medicine containing metal particles.

McNeil Consumer Healthcare, of Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, acknowledged failing to take corrective action after discovering the adulterated bottles of Infants' and Children's Tylenol and Children's Motrin. The company agreed to pay $25 million to resolve the case.

Metal particles, including nickel, iron and chromium, were introduced during the manufacturing process at McNeil's plant in Fort Washington. Prosecutors said McNeil knew about the problem for nearly a year but failed to take immediate steps to fix it.

The company and prosecutors said in court Tuesday that no one was injured.

"McNeil's failure to comply with current good manufacturing practices is seriously troubling," Acting Assistant Attorney General Mizer said in a statement after the judge accepted McNeil's plea. "The Department of Justice will continue to be aggressive in pursuing and punishing companies such as McNeil that disregard a process designed to assure quality medicines, especially OTC drugs for infants and children," he said.


McNeil is a unit of Johnson & Johnson. The New Brunswick, New Jersey, health care giant has struggled with scores of product recalls since 2009.

In this case, McNeil first learned of the particle problem in May 2009, when a consumer complained about black specks inside a bottle of Infants' Tylenol, according to court documents. McNeil subsequently found metal particles during production but continued making the liquid medicines for several more months.

"There were investigative steps taken, but not all of the steps required under all of our internal operating procedures," company attorney Michael Schwartz told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
McNeill eventually traced the problem to the machinery at its plant in Fort Washington and issued a recall. The Food and Drug Administration said the potential for serious medical problems was remote but advised consumers to stop using the medicine.

The suburban Philadelphia plant — which was linked to several recalls of Tylenol and other nonprescription drugs for children and adults — was shuttered in April 2010 and rebuilt from the ground up, but it has yet to reopen.

The company is operating under an agreement with the FDA requiring increased inspections and oversight at its factories.

* * * * 

McNeil and Johnson & Johnson have been manufacturing and marketing Tylenol products for decades. These products have given rise to lawsuits and recalls. 

In November 2000, three-year-old Brianna Maya was given Children’s Motrin and Tylenol to treat her fever. She suffered a severe SJS and TENS reaction that has caused her to suffer severe eye and lung damage. She suffers seizures and will never be able to have children. In 2011, a jury awarded Brianna and her family $10 million. 

In another Children’s Tylenol lawsuit, River Moore, a two-year-old boy, died because the Very Berry Strawberry Children’s Tylenol he was given caused liver failure. He began spitting up blood only 30 minutes after taking the medicine. The family of the boy alleges that the medicine contained a higher than normal concentration of the active ingredient and is pursuing a lawsuit. River’s death occurred only months after a recall by McNeil and Johnson & Johnson. 

In April 2010, the companies recalled more than 40 over-the-counter drugs including Children’s Tylenol. The Children’s Tylenol recall was issued because negligent manufacturing practices may have caused the drugs to contain higher than normal concentrations of active ingredients and other contaminants. According to a letter from the companies, some samples of this medicine contained up to a 24% higher concentration of the active ingredient.

Best Way to Keep Your Pot
From Boiling Over

Best Way to Keep Your Pot From Boiling Over

Place a wooden spoon over boiling water to keep it from boiling over. There is a lot of science behind this, but the easiest way to explain why this works is because the spoon pops a lot of the bubbles once they come into contact with it, and it also absorbs some of the moisture. 

Apparently, metal spoons don’t work because they heat up too fast. Let me know if you try this one.
