(Best Syndication News) The makers of Tylenol, after consulting with the FDA, are recalling various medications including Tylenol, Sudafed, Benadryl and Rolaids. McNeil Consumer Healthcare, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, is known for pulling products if there is even a hint of a problem.

This recall involves TYLENOL® 8 Hour, TYLENOL® Arthritis Pain, and other TYLENOL® product for upper respiratory conditions. BENADRYL®, SUDAFED PE®, and SINUTAB® are also on the recall list in the United State, Brazil and the Caribbean. The products were manufactured prior to April 2010 in their Fort Washington PA plant.

Why is the company initiating the recall? According to a statement, records of their cleaning procedure were not "adequately documented... It is very unlikely that this impacted the quality of these products."

Besides Tylenol, the company is recalling ROLAIDS® Multi-Symptom Berry Tablets distributed in the U.S.

These are wholesale recalls and consumers do not need to take any action. "Consumers can continue to use the product," the company said.

There have not been any adverse events reports.

The company will provide more information at http://www.mcneilproductrecall.com or by calling their help line at 1-888-222-6036 (available Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. ET and Saturday – Sunday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Eastern Time).
