Have you checked your medicine cabinet?
OK I admit it. I'm cheap. Therefore I buy store brands. I discovered years ago that acetaminophen was the exact same thing as Tylenol. It also cost at lest two or three dollars a bottle less, so I buy it. Unfortunately for me and my morning headache it has been recalled. I jumped on line to check the batch numbers involved. Yep, there it is.5KE0838. According to the FDA some pills may contain metal fragments. Those could cause throat or stomach problems. Gee big choice here. Do I want a stomach ache, throat problems or a headache. I'm going back to bed!
To check and see if your batch number is listed go to
Recall
The FDA advises consumers who believe they have the recalled acetaminophen to "discontinue use immediately" and call Perrigo's consumer affairs department at (877) 546-0454 for further instructions

Did it yesterday with my one small bottle. It's fine and we're primarily on ibuprofen.
Thanks. Your sister ran this one too.
Should you go to the doctor? That is scary.
I'm pretty much on only ibuprofen.
Saw it on News.
i buy equate. Checked mine, i'm fine too.
I buy off-brand too. I'm hoping you have no ill effects! I'm sending you good "vibes"
Sorry to hear that you had some of those.
I just heard a commercial on the radio by Tylenol telling everybody that none of their products were involved. I guess they are hoping to pick up some customers from this. Even though they do way overcharge.
bad about the pills. metal gets in you gut and causes all kinds of problems.
