    Exclamation Generic acetaminophen 500mg recalled for possible metal contmaination

    Mine from Walmart, packaged by Perrigo, are on the list. When you call the toll free # they will take your name & address (automated) and will send you a "return kit." http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/NEWS/2006/NEW01507.html

    I just checked our bottle & I didn't see the batch number on the list so I guess we are o.k.

    Thank you! I just looked at my bottle and I DO have a bottle of acetaminophen that is on the recall list. On that website, it said that the size of the metal particles range from microdot to pieces of wire 8mm in size! I don't see anything strange in my bottle but I called the number and I'm returning them.
    “When you get to the end of all the light you know
    and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown,
    faith is knowing that one of two things will happen:
    you will be given something solid to stand on,
    or you will be taught how to fly.” - Edward Teller


    “Our Earth is degenerate in these later days;
    there are signs that the world is speedily
    coming to an end;
    bribery and corruption are common; children no
    longer obey their parents;
    every man wants to write a book and the
    end of the world is evidently approaching.”
    — From a translation of an inscription on
    an Assyrian clay tablet, circa 2800 B.C.E.


    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    courage to change the things I can,
    and the wisdom to know the difference
    .
