Post a Commentgreat write up!
Oh my gosh, I need to check my bottles! Mary-Grace has taken both tylenol and motrin lately
I see mary lin needs info on the recall ;-) Very informative, thanks for the great report!
No adverse effects, that's good. Voluntary recall, that's good, too. There was something wrong with the products, though, or no recall would have happened. Awsome article yet again, btw :)
Very informative!
