(AP) -- Johnson & Johnson is expanding a voluntary recall of Tylenol Arthritis Caplets. There have been consumer reports of a moldy smell capable of causing nausea and sickness.
According to a statement on the FDA Web site, J&J is now recalling all product lots of the Arthritis Pain Caplet 100 count bottles with the red EZ-Open Cap.
Johnson & Johnson had recalled five lots of the product last month after consumers complained of a musty, mildew-like odor that triggered nausea, stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea.
The health care company said the odor results from trace amounts of a chemical. It is believed to result from the breakdown of another chemical used to treat wooden pallets that transport and store packaging materials.
