J&J Drug Recall 2010

Johnson & Johnson (J&J) Chief Executive Bill Weldon told consumers in an open letter published on Friday on the drugmaker's blog that the recent recalls of some of its medicines were "a disappointment to me" and to the company and its employees.

Last week, Johnson & Johnson recalled 40 widely used nonprescription children's pain and allergy medications, saying some may have a higher concentration of their active ingredients, while others may be contaminated.

J&J has had four recalls in the past year of over-the-counter medicines.
