On May 2, 2010, the McNeil division of Johnson & Johnson voluntarily recalled 43 different OTC products due to "quality control issues. This innocuous sounding phrase covers a wide variety of problems which include:

Some of the products included in the recall may contain a higher concentration of active ingredient than is specified; others may contain inactive ingredients that may not meet internal testing requirements; and others may contain tiny particles.

The list of recalled products reads like a list of many parents' medicine chests for young children:
