I read somewhere that this is the 12th Tylenol recall in 12 months. Given all of the stuff you already hear about the risks of taking acetaminophen - a quick Google search brings up sites like http://www.liverfailurefromtylenol.com/ - this latest recall sadly just seems like business as usual.
You mentioned the FDA site where you can report reactions to the recalled products. Readers might also be interested in checking out the FDA's updated Safe Use Initiative: Acetaminophen Toxicity which addresses some of these same issues http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DrugSafety/ucm230396.htm
