NEW YORK -Johnson & Johnson expanded a recall of over-the-counter medications Friday, the second time it has done so in less than a month because of a moldy smell that has made users sick.

The broadening recall now includes some batches of Tylenol caplets, geltabs, arthritis treatments, rapid release, and extended relief Tylenol, as well as Motrin IB, regular and extra strength Rolaids antacids, Benadryl allergy tablets, St. Joseph aspirin, and Simply Sleep caplets.

Almost three weeks ago, the company's McNeil Consumer Healthcare Products expanded its recall to include Tylenol Arthritis Caplets.

McNeil said the larger recall includes product lots that could be affected by the same problems of nausea even though it has not received any reports from consumers. A full list of the recalled products is online at MCNEIL PRODUCT RECALL.

I just checked my TYLENOLÂ® EXTRA STRENGTH RAPID RELEASE GELCAP 290CT and it's on the recall list. I was going to take some this morning but decided to just wait and see if my headache went away on it's own. It did and I'm glad I didn't take two of these :-5

"Tylenol" is the brand name. It's one of other brand names that sells acetaminophen or paracetamol.

Pain relievers include acetaminophen and NSAID's.
