Big Pharma Giant Guilty of Selling Tainted Children’s Tylenol – Knowingly

childrens-medicine-tylenolNatural Society – by Mike Barrett

How far does the fraud and contamination of our country’s products go? The list is seemingly endless. Recently adding on to the list, mega-company Johnson and Johnson was recently found out to be knowingly selling adulterated bottles of Tylenol that contain metal particles.

The makers of this children’s Tylenol seemed to think it was OK to pollute our nation’s children  – even if it meant a federal criminal charge.  

Johnson & Johnson subsidiary McNeil Consumer Healthcare ‒ which makes Infants’ and Children’s Tylenol and Children’s Motrin ‒ agreed to pay $25 million to resolve the case, the Associated Press reported, citing court documents. The deal came at a plea hearing Tuesday afternoon.

“The proposed criminal resolution is sufficient to punish McNeil for its past failures and to deter McNeil from violating” federal law in the future, prosecutors wrote in a memo to the judge overseeing the case.

As reported by RT:

“Metal particles ‒ including nickel, iron and chromium ‒ were introduced during the manufacturing process at McNeil’s plant in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania. The company began a voluntary recall in April 2010. The drugs may also have contained more of the active drug ingredient than specified, the company said in a statement at the time.”

According to the New York Times, Marc Boston, a McNeil spokesman, had this to say:

“The particles may be solidified product ingredients or manufacturing residue such as tiny metal specks.”

Though while the contamination issue is concerning all by itself, the truly large problem is that Johnson and Johnson knowingly continued to sell the product despite known adulteration. The prosecutors accused the company of continuing the sale of the product for approximately a year after the problem had surfaced. Immediate action wasn’t even in McNeil’s line of sight.

Court documents reveal that a consumer had reported black specks inside Infants’ Tylenol in 2009, leading to McNeil to find metal particles during production. Still, production continued to months.

As mentioned, the problem was traced back to machinery at the Fort Washington plant in PA by the Food and Drug Administration. This is where manufacturing violations were discovered, where airborne contamination from a chemical used for wood pallets riddled the area. The plant was shut down in 2010, rebuilt, but hasn’t re-opened.

Johnson & Johnson has been forced to issue a variety of pharmaceutical recalls since 2009. McNeil was not the only subsidiary that had quality-control failures during that time period.

  1. “So, how was your day, Honey? “Well, I sold a ton of adulterated Children’s Tylenol and got a promotion. Good night, sleep tight.”

  2. “As mentioned, the problem was traced back to machinery at the Fort Washington plant in PA by the Food and Drug Administration.”

    Would the FDA tell us if Tylenol knowingly added toxins to assist in the ongoing poisoning of the American people? Or would they come up with a plausible excuse for how they got there?

    Remember “Joker products” from the first Batman movie? The Chemtrails alone won’t kill you, but when mixed with the headache pills a few million die of “natural causes” six months later. Or maybe it’s the BPA in plastics mixed with the toxins that are packed into the vaccines.

    And there’s no one to blame for all the “mysterious” deaths, because no single source of the poisonous mixtures kills anyone.

    As a general rule, you don’t want to be getting your food or medicine from people whose religion encourages your murder.

  3. people are looking at this the wrong way due to their brainwashing. the pharmaceutical company on a whole as with any other large and small institution are nothing more than say any other gang and or cartel. in this case, drug cartel with many tentacles. it wasn’t until something terrible happened to a family member going on a year now in may that I realized everyone belongs to a damn gang. all cities and towns from top on down are run this way. these corporations are no different except the power and wealth they hold is untouchable.
    its known bpa plastics cause hormonal disruptions and is an endocrine disruptor so i’d venture to say there is an agenda here, if you know what I mean, but for some its easier to ignore that fact. parents wonder why tommy wants to date billy. I also believe vaccines play a role in this as do toxins in chemtrails and various other toxins.
    look at the lining of your canned foods including the lids and tell me what you see. its no accident its there leaching into the food. and notice how canned foods just don’t last as long as they use to either.
    it stands for reason that all these toxins we wouldn’t normally be subjected to start in infancy and even while still in the womb are taking its toll on the human race in so many ways.
    remember, the healthiest people win lock stock and barrel. and if people haven’t figured out who that is yet then they’ve been living under a rock.
