Join the growing list of families that have been affected by McNeil’s over-the-counter children’s products.

Since November 2008, McNeil Consumer Healthcare, a division of Johnson & Johnson has issued eight recalls for its over-the-counter medications for infants and children, including certain forms of Tylenol, Motrin, Benadryl, and Zyrtec. The recalls and associated problems have fueled investigations by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and members of Congress.

Johnson & Johnson is offering refunds and coupons to those who have purchased the recalled products, but only on select products, and only to customers who provide the lot numbers listed on the product they purchased.


Three women who believe the refund offer is not adequate filed a lawsuit in federal court in Philadelphia against Johnson & Johnson. The three plaintiffs are seeking class-action status on behalf of anyone who purchased J&J children's medicines from at least December 2008 to the present.


The lawsuit claims that McNeil Consumer Healthcare should be making only cash refunds, and that the program should be expanded to include more people than are currently eligible. The complaint claims that such a coupon is worthless to consumers as McNeil is currently not manufacturing such drugs, and there are no guarantees that consumers would consider buying a McNeil product at some uncertain future date. Donald Haviland, attorney for the plaintiffs, said the refunds should also be extended to people who bought McNeil products but had already disposed of the bottles when the recall occurred.
