Another day another recall. Companies take such good care of you huh? Johnson & Johnson is now expanding a voluntary recall of Tylenol Arthritis Caplets due to consumer reports of a moldy smell that can cause nausea and sickness. The company is now recalling all product lots of the Arthritis Pain Caplet 100 count bottles with the red EZ-Open Cap.

Johnson & Johnson had previously recalled five lots of the product last month after complaints of a musty, mildew odor that triggered nausea, stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea. According to the company, the odor results from trace amounts of a chemical called 2,4,6-tribromoanisole. A chemical that is believed to result from the breakdown of another chemical used to treat wooden pallets that transport and store packaging materials.
