Johnson & Johnson has come under fire recently for a spate of drug and medical device recalls, including Motrin, Tylenol and DePuy hip replacement products. According to ABC News, "J&J recalled 40 widely used nonprescription products for children and infants, such as Tylenol, in late April after Food and Drug Administration inspectors found filthy equipment and contaminated ingredients at a Pennsylvania factory. The plant operated by J&J's McNeil unit is still closed, crimping sales, cutting the consumer standing of well-known J&J brands and marring Weldon's generally successful eight years at the helm."
ABC News also had this staggering statistic: "Combined with several other recalls since January, the company has pulled nearly 200 million bottles of various medicines."
If you have been taking any drugs affected by this recall, contact your doctor or other medical provider immediately. If you would like to speak to an attorney about your legal rights, feel free to contact the attorneys at Jones Ward PLC.
