Tylenol recalls continue and the list of over-the-counter medications has expanded. This is considered a voluntary recall.

The recall began when consumers complained about unusual odors coming from the Tylenol packaging. There have been several recalls issued due to this problem.

Children's Tylenol Meltaways, Motrin, Benedryl Allergy Ultratabs, Tylenol Arthritis Pain Caplets, Tylenol Extra Strength, Tylenol Day & Night, Tylenol Rapid Release, and Tylenol Caplets are part of the current recall.

Tylenol Arthritis Pain Caplet 100 count is available with the red EZ-Open Cap. Photos of the recalled products are included at the end of this article. Other Arthritis Pain products with the Tylenol label are not included in the recall. For a complete list of Tylenol products that have been recalled, please follow this link.

Consumers with recalled Tylenol products may contact McNeil for information about refunds and replacements for products. Someone is available to answer questions at (888) 222-6036, Monday through Friday from 8 AM until 8 PM EST. On weekends someone is available from 9 AM until 5 PM.

It has been reported that the odors that concern Tylenol customers is caused by a chemical that was used to treat wooden pallets used to store and ship products. To date there have been no serious illnesses reported concerning any of the recalled products.

The recalled Tylenol products are manufactured in the United States. These products are sold in the United States as well as in Fiji, Guatemala, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Tobago, Trinidad and the Dominican Republic.
