McNeil Consumer Healthcare, Division of Johnson & Johnson Inc. is voluntarily recalling all lots of Rolaids Ultra Strength SoftChews and Rolaids Ultra Strength SoftChews plus Gas Relief distributed in Canada.
McNeil is taking this action following some consumer reports of foreign materials in the product, including metal and wood particles. The company's investigation has determined that the materials were potentially introduced into the product during the manufacturing process at a third party manufacturer. While the risk of serious adverse health consequences is remote, McNeil Consumer Healthcare advises consumers who have purchased these recalled products to discontinue use.
While our investigation is ongoing we have suspended production of Rolaids Ultra Strength SoftChews and Rolaids Ultra Strength SoftChews plus Gas Relief and will not restart production until corrective actions have been implemented.
McNeil Consumer Healthcare (Canada), Division of Johnson & Johnson Inc., markets a broad range of well known and trusted Over The Counter (OTC) products, including Tylenol, Motrin, Rolaids, Imodium and Zantac.
