What was the cause of the “musty, moldy” odor that resulted in the January 15th recall?
McNeil Consumer Healthcare determined that the reported uncharacteristic odor was caused by the presence of trace amounts of a chemical called 2,4,6-tribromoanisole (TBA). After a thorough investigation, it was determined that the source of TBA was the result of a breakdown of a chemical that is applied to wood used to build wood pallets that transport and store product packaging materials. The risk of serious adverse medical events is remote.
