Tylenol comes under a long list of products recalled by Johnson & Johnson over the last two years.
In January last year, months after first receiving consumer complaints of a musty smell, the company recalled several boxes of medicines including Benadryl, Motrin, St Joseph Aspirin and Simply Sleep.
