Johnson and Johnson Recalls Medicines, Accused in Payoff Scheme

Johnson and Johnson, the trusted company that makes baby care products and touts integrity by “doing what’s right for people”, reluctantly recalled batches of Benedryl, Motrin, Tylenol and St. Joseph Aspirin, among others. It took the company 20 months to issue the recall, in spite of consumer complaints about the moldy-smelling products and reports of digestive problems. In a separate issue, the company is accused of paying kickbacks to a nursing home pharmacy to promote its medications to elderly patients. (1/17) NY Times
