Home Latest Drug News News Blog Mylanta Recalled

On December 2, 2010, Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceuticals Inc. recalled over twelve million bottles of Mylanta and thousands of packets of AlternaGel, due to complaints of an alcoholic aftertaste. The taste comes from a small amount of alcohol in the product, which the labels failed to inform consumers about.

According to Bloomberg, in both recalls the amount of alcohol is less than 1% and the companies--- Johnson & Johnson-Merck and McNeil Consumer Healthcare respectively -- say that consumers who have any of the products can continue to use them. This latest recall is one of many in 2010 for Johnson & Johnson, who has come under a great deal of scrutiny from the FDA, following their numerous Tylenol and Benadryl recalls.
