On Jan 15, 2010 the recall began and it has now been increased to include four lots of Benadryl Allergy Ultratablets and one lot of Extra Strength Tylenol.

These over the counter drugs were distributed in the USA, Bermuda, Puerto Rico and Tobago.

This extent of recalls has lead to congressional investigations.
