Motrin Pills: Another Johnson & Johnson Recall?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) February 2, 2012 -- You might ask, what the heck is happening to healthcare giant Johnson & Johnson? How come that they are still allowed to manufacture drugs and medical devices when they are always involved with string of product recalls? Who can forget the asr hip recall. Thousands and thousands individuals had been affected which resulted to filling of depuy hip recall class action. A lot ofhip replacement lawyerhad benefited from the large scale hip lawsuit.

Johnson & Johnson Motrin recall is the sixth in two years. Motrin is a slow-dissolving pain reliever. Actually the Motrin recall is just a part of more than two dozen recalls of consumer health products, prescription and non-prescription drugs and medical device for just a span of 2 ½ years.

The reason of the Motrin recall rooted with its slow-dissolving properties that may delay the relief from pain as the drug approach in its three-year expiration date. Motrin IB coated caplets and coated tablet were the ones included in the recall. The recall will total to 12 million Motrin bottles. J&J representative informed the public that they are only recalling Motrin from retailers and not consumers since there is no safety concern associated with it.

The recalled packages of Motrin were manufactured within the period of February 2009 to July 2011. Were some of the medicines were made by a contract manufacturer at J&J’s factory located at Las Piedras Puerto Rico. The said plant or factory is under the tight scrutiny by the US FDA because of myriad of problems related to manufacturing quality. One healthcare factory of J&J located at Fort Washington,Pennsylvania had been shut down since 2010 because of some problems. The company is currently rebuilding the facility.

Johnson & Johnson had been rocked with string of product recalls since 2009. These include a host of prescription and nonprescription drugs, such as children’s and adult Tylenol, Benadryl, Motrin, Rolaids and Simply Sleep Prezista an HIV medicine and Topamax, an epilepsy pill, recalled hip replacement, contact lenses and diabetes test strips.

Recalls had been possible due to following reasons; contamination with metal shards and class particles and incorrect level of active drug ingredients. The string of product recalls had cost Johnson & Johnson a staggering $900 million and this includes legal settlements with hip recall.

My question is; what happened to the company’s credo and social responsibility to doctors and most especially to patient who uses their products?
