Tylenol's recall problems, circa 1982.

Hey, stop me if you’ve heard this before, but Tylenol Extra Strength bottles are being recalled due to contamination from the fungicide 2,4,6-tribromoanisole (TBA).  No, I’m not repeating a story from 2009, Johnson&Johnson is recalling a February 2009 run of  Tylenol Extra Strength 250-count bottles, bearing the UPC code 300450444271.  The bottles are from lot ABA619.  TBA causes a musty odor in Tylenol and stomach pains in certain individuals, but is otherwise harmless.

The newest recall covers 60,912 bottles of Extra Strength Tylenol pain medication, and it’s one of a host of recalled products from Johnson&Johnson over the last two years.  Since 2009, Johnson&Johnson have recalled over 100 million bottles of Tylenol, Sudafed, Motrin, and Benadryl, making the products nearly impossible to find on store shelves.

Customers with affected bottles are asked to contact McNeil Consumer Healthcare at 888-222-6036 or to visit Tylenol’s website to get instructions on rebate or replacement instructions.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
