Acetaminophen Recalled Due To Metal Fragments
Bruce Japsen of the Chicago Tribune reported today, "11 million bottles containing varying quantities of 500-milligram acetaminophen caplets made by the Perrigo Co. for more than 120 national retailers, including Wal-Mart, Sears, Kmart and CVS Corp.," are being recalled. (Full Story). The caplets, some made as long as three years ago, may contain metal fragments ranging from "micro-dots" to pieces of wire a third of an inch long.
While the United States Food & Drug Administration has not reported any injuries, it is easy to see how a person could be injured if they ingested these pills. This recall might give rise to product liability litigation.
These pills should immediately be returned, and anyone injured should contact a qualified lawyer.
