McNeil said the voluntary recall is being done in conjunction with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration because of quality problems at a plant in the Dominican Republic. Some of the products may have too much of their active ingredients, some may have inactive ingredients that do not meet standards and some may contain tiny particles.

No incidents of medical problems caused by the products have been reported, officials said. Consumers who have bought them are advised to stop using them.
