My husband subscribes to Bloomburg Business week, and he brought home the issue from March 31, 2011 where the feature story is Johnson and Johnson's Quality Catastrophe and their Recall Rap Sheet.
After reading the article I feel shocked! When my children were born I used many Johnson and Johnson products, thinking they were a trusted name, and yes, I would cite the Tylenol recall of the 1980's to support my claim that they had a culture of quality and care for consumers within their company. But now I just don't know what to think, and I seriously doubt I will be buying Johnson and Johnson products when they return to the market of another alternative is available.
Unfortunately I don't know of an alternative for Children's Benedryl!
What are your thoughts on this?
And why do you think this story did not get more play in the media because it seems like a huge deal when you connect all the dots like this?

Try some of the major drug store chains or even Target or Walmart. They have store brand children's medicines. I use Rexall and Dollar General store brands for my children. I use the store brand Claritin (Loratadine) for allergies, and they have a substitute for Benedryl(Diphenhydramine). Either are good antihistamines, but I prefer Loraradine because it is non-drowsy(the second generation of antihistamines). They've got the children's versions in grape and strawberry.
