A couple of sleep aids have been put into question for failing to do what they claim to be; help people sleep. The recall involves children’s versions of Tylenol, Tylenol Plus, Motrin, Zyrtec and Benadryl, because they don’t meet quality standards.
Though there was no questions concerning their safety, it seems the matter of their actual use and purpose is the one being put into question. Hopefully though, no side effects will be reported which for now is zilch.
Tylenol has issued a recall on some products under their fold, including Simply Sleep due to reports of nausea. Apparently these over the counter drugs were contaminated with the chemical 2,4,6-tribromoanisole (TBA). Although the chemical has not been studied for health effects, there have not been any recorded serious medical events.
Some customers have complained of nausea which were traced to chemicals, found in shipping pallets, which gives off a nauseating odor.
