Re:
Voluntary Product Recall
The physicians at APL would like to
provide you with
the latest
information regarding
the following:
McNeil Announces Voluntary Recall
of Certain Lots of BENADRYL® Allergy
Ultratabs™ & Extra Strength TYLENOL® Rapid
Release Gels
McNeil Consumer Healthcare, Division of McNEIL-PPC, Inc., is
recalling five product lots
as an addition to the list of products
included in the company's January 15th, 2010
product recall. The additional lots
involved are four product lots of BENADRYL ®
ALLERGY ULTRATAB™ TABLETS, 100 count, sold
in the U.S.; and one product lot of
EXTRA STRENGTH TYLENOL® Rapid Release Gels,
50 count, sold in the U.S., Trinidad
and Tobago, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico (FULL
RECALLED PRODUCT LIST BELOW).
This recall is a follow-up to the product
recall that McNeil Consumer Healthcare
announced on January 15th, 2010 and is
being taken because the products were
inadvertently omitted from the initial
recall action. McNeil Consumer Healthcare identified
the omission and informed the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) of its decision
to add these product lots to the recall
list. All of these products were produced before the
January 15th, 2010 recall. Since
January, McNeil Consumer Healthcare has continued to
analyze and evaluate 2,4,6-tribromoanisole
(TBA) and has shared that information with
the FDA. This further analysis confirms
that the risk of serious adverse medical events is
remote. This recall is being conducted with
the knowledge of the FDA.

NOTE:
APL did not sell any of the above products.
Respectfully,
The Physicians of APL
