The maker of Tylenol Arthritis Pain medicine is expanding a voluntary recall after reports that the caplets had a moldy smell, triggering nausea, dizziness and stomach pain.
First off, all reports of problems were temporary and not serious, says the Food and Drug Administration.
Still, the recall affects all lots (increased from just five last month) of the 100-count bottles of caplets with the red EZ open cap. The foul smell is caused by trace amounts of a chemical called 2,4,6-tribromoanisole, used to treat wooden pallets that store packaging materials, the FDA said late Monday.
If you've bought the medicine and would like a refund, contact the company at 1-888-222-6036.
