Tylenol Problems Affected Extra Strength And Rolaids

Rolaids and 27 different formulations and packaging types of Tylenol are under voluntary recall right now.
The FDA slammed its manufacturer Friday for being to slow to take steps to recall it. The contaminated products were detected by consumers to have a musty, moldy smell and made them ill.
It has been discovered that many lots of the medication were manufactured with chemicals contaminated with by-products of chemicals used to kill molds and fungus. The result is taking the medication can give people a variety of acute flu-like stomach problems.
[Surprisingly, the vast majority of people presumed by health authorities to have H1N1 did not have it, only 1% did, CBS News investigators discovered last year. Right after the Tylenol recall finally started and CBS released its report, the number of cases health authorities measured in the US plummeted. Two other related events: Taking Tylenol was found to reduce the effectiveness of vaccines receive before taking Tylenol, and a maker of the H1N1 vaccine said its product loses its effectiveness quickly - and so it was taking back its supply of the drug. No news articles I know of have linked the coincidences that Tylenol causes flu-like symptoms, and that it reduces the effectiveness to some vaccines - to the high H1N1 infection numbers quoted across the US until mid-Fall 2009 when they mysteriously sharply dropped all of a sudden.]

There have been claims in the press recently that some businesses are not sure if they can avoid impact from government regulations any longer upon what they are doing.
Thank god.
The medicine smelled foul, had a chemical in it which has not been tested extensively on humans, and the chemical gave people diarrhea, vomiting, and nausea but it was shipped and kept on shipping for over a year. Evidently, some companies rely on government regulators to do their quality control - and on consumers to be their test subjects.
