Tylenol for J&J

J&J, FDA leaders take heat for 'phantom' recall - Yahoo! Finance: "Johnson & Johnson executives and the Food and Drug Administration both shouldered the blame Thursday for a secret recall in which hired contractors quietly bought up defective painkillers to clear them from store shelves.

J&J Chief Executive William Weldon told House lawmakers the company 'made a mistake' in conducting the so-called 'phantom recall,' which is one of a string of problems that have drawn congressional scrutiny

In the same committee hearing, the FDA's deputy commissioner, Dr. Joshua Sharfstein, said his agency should have acted sooner to halt J&J's plan. At the same time, though, he stressed that regulators were not aware of the deceptive nature of the recall."
