I recently ran out of Pepcid Complete. You know, the antacid tablet that works better than any other I’ve tried? Usually I buy two big bottles when I’m at Costco and they last me quite a while.
When I looked for them at Long’s Drugs last week, the counters there were devoid of the product. Yesterday, I finally got to Costco and looked for them there, but there was none to be found at Costco either.
Was there a recall when I wasn’t looking? I had to check it out.
Turns out they were recalled last August because of defective containers (holes were poked in a few bottles when a machine screw stuck out too far). Consequently one of the Johnson & Johnson plants was closed and they couldn’t supply enough for the demand.
The product is due to return to the shelves in March.
Now, ain’t THAT a gas?
