Well this just can't be good....
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The government is taking over three Tylenol plants following a blizzard of drug recalls and a Food and Drug Administration criminal investigation into safety issues at the factories.
The FDA and the Justice Department on Thursday took action against McNeil PPC and two of its executives -- its vice president of quality and its vice president of operations for over-the-counter products -- for failing to comply with federally-mandated manufacturing practice.

That's scary...but they probably thought that their congressman would take care of it for them.

Let's just hope this isn't another step toward government produced drugs...
Sell/return the companies back to the free market!
I take this to mean the era of reduced government has created one giant headache................

Correction this hasn't been good. Somebody doing something about it may or may not end up being good.
I meant it can't be good that this company is in such horrible shape the government needs to take it over. I am curious as to what the issue is, since all the article referenced was "number of recalls". I can only think of one this past year, but apparently there were many. Of course a LOT of companies have multiple recalls (ie Graco, Chevy, Toyota) but are not taken over y the government?
I took it wrong. and you are right on.
They should move to Florida, Gov. Voldemort would protect them from unreasonable controls to ensure the health and safety of average Americans.
