Rolaids Recall

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/10/business/10recall.html?partner=rss&emc=rss

Another week and another Johnson and Johnson product recall. Nobody should be surprised at this point. They are pretty much a monthly occurrence.

This time it is "reports of consumers finding metal and wood particles in the products."

I must have missed the clinical study where metal and wood particles help heartburn. How is it even possible that metal and wood could get into Rolaids.

"The foreign particles found in the Rolaids were potentially introduced during production at a third-party manufacturer" (China)

"McNeil declined to identify the manufacturer." Of course they did. The last thing they are going to tell you is the active ingredients come from Communist Red China. But you can be sure they do.

It is funny that J&J is under all this scrutiny for over a year of recalls and yet products are still leaving the company contaminated. Only when consumers point it out is anything done. Where is the FDA?

The way things have gone people can be sure If J&J makes it it is probably contaminated.

Hope all their saving from outsourcing makes up for the pounding their once proud reputation is taking.

Yes it is another outsourcing success story to be studied in business schools for years to come.
