Johnson & Johnson just can’t seem to do anything right. On top of all the quality-control problems that have led to tens of millions of product recalls for over-the-counter meds, syringes, contact lenses and hip replacement devices, now J&J is recalling more than 660,000 Sudafed packages because the labeling has an extra ‘not’ in the instructions. FOR REAL!!
A notice on the J&J web site says the McNeil Consumer Healthcare initiated the recall at the wholesale level “due to a typographical error in the directions section on the label, which incorrectly repeated the word ‘not’ as follows: ‘do not not divide, crush, chew, or dissolve the tablet.’ To date there have been no reports of adverse events caused by this labeling error.”
Proofreading is a big pet peeve of mine but I do sympathize with whoever made the typo. I’ve made my fair share. And in the grand scheme of things, it’s not as bad as the faulty hips that leech cobalt and chromium particles causing tissue death, musty smelling tablets, cracked syringes or contact lenses that cause stinging eye pain!
