Johnson & Johnson resumes shipping Tylenol caplets

Johnson & Johnson has resumed shipping Tylenol Cold & Flu Severe caplets, one of the many products it's recalled due to a variety of manufacturing deficiencies over the past two years.

Bonnie Jacobs, a spokeswoman for the health care giant, confirmed late Wednesday that the product, for adults, is shipping this week.

Jacobs could not confirm a report in The Wall Street Journal that the caplets were being manufactured in Italy and said she had no further details.

J&J, based in New Brunswick, New Jersey, has announced about two dozen recalls since September 2009, involving well over 300 million bottles of non-prescription medicines, plus some prescription drugs, contact lenses and artificial hips.
