Generic Tylenol recalled due to metal particles

[asterroc]

If you have bought any generic-version Tylenol (acetaminophen in the US, paracetamol elsewhere), some of these are being recalled due to metal particles in the pills. Check the store brand, expiration date, and batch/lot number (printed near the date on the label). There's a list of store brands that were possibly affected (including CVS and Wal-Mart), a list of batch/lot numbers and expiration dates (all seem to start with a 5 or a 6, and expire between 2006 and 2009), the FDA notice, and the company Perrigo's own notice.

This is not a hoax or email chain letter, feel free to check the links above to confirm. Please spread the word.

I'm reading the FDA notice, which seems to have more info. Sorry to bombard with questions. :-P
