NEW YORK - & expanded a recall of over-the-counter medications

Friday, the second time it has done so in less than a month because of a mouldy

smell that has made users sick.

The broadening recall now includes some batches of Tylenol caplets, geltabs,

arthritis treatments, rapid release, and extended relief Tylenol, as well as

Motrin IB, chewable extra strength Rolaids, Benadryl allergy tablets, and St.

ph aspirin.

Almost three weeks ago, the company's McNeil Consumer Healthcare Products

broadened its recall to include Tylenol Arthritis Caplets.

McNeil said the larger recall includes product lots that could be affected by

the same problems of nausea even though it has not received any reports from

consumers.

The latest recall applies to products sold in the Americas, the United Arab

Emirates, and Fiji.

& recalled some Tylenol Arthritis Caplets in November and December

due to the smell, which caused nausea, stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea.

& says the smell is caused by small amounts of a chemical

associated with the treatment of wooden pallets.

The New Brunswick, N.J., company said it is investigating the issue and will

stop shipping products with the same materials on wooden pallets.

It has asked suppliers to do so as well.

The company said it is working with the Food and Drug Administration.
