ChristusG Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Why is it always the name brand things? I've begun purchasing store brands because they never seem to have any recalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Why is it always the name brand things? I've begun purchasing store brands because they never seem to have any recalls. I know. The only thing is that kinda scares me. Are they not watched as closely or are they just better about their production? I wonder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Arg! I have a huge bottle of the costco motrin. I hope it doesn't get recalled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 My dds allergist told us to only buy the generic because of all the recalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I think all mine are generic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyDay Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Thanks for this info. I'd not heard about it. At least this time, non of my meds are in the recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiseOwlKnits Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 An I reading the recall right? I think it says that the products are okay but the bottles weren't stamped with something that is required. The recall is at the wholesale level not consumer. I think that is what it said. Here's what I got for the reason: These products were manufactured at the McNeil plant in Fort Washington, PA prior to April 2010, when production at the facility was suspended. The company is initiating the recall as a precautionary measure after an extensive review of past production records found instances where equipment cleaning procedures were insufficient or that cleaning was not adequately documented. It is very unlikely that this impacted the quality of these products. So I'm guessing possible cross-contamination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RanchGirl Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 ugh, this is completely annoying. I just bought a bunch of benadryl to keep everywhere due to allergies. That is good advice to buy generic, I will do that next time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinder Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Thanks for the notice. I have only one actual Tylenol product--the rest are generics--but thankfully it's not part of the recall. I, too, wonder if the generics are recalled less frequently because they aren't watched as carefully. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
