Healthcare International is stressing those consumers in Fiji who have bought one of their twenty one products being recalled, the Tylenol extra Strength Caplets need to return it.

The recall is part of McNeil Consumer Healthcare's initial recall which started in January this year.

According to the Company, the affected batch of Tylenol Extra Strength Caplet 50's - Batch AFA018 will have the product number on the side of the bottle label.

The recall was initiated after consumers reported a mouldy smell on the tablets and the company said that this is a result of the caplets used to ship the product.

Meanwhile, the Health Ministry said this is a voluntary recall where it is the role of the distributor to ensure all the affected products are taken off the shelves while the Ministry monitors to see that all products are removed.
