JNJ to pay $33M to 42 states (California's payout is the largest at $2.3M) after it pleading out from allegations the company endangered Consumers by skipping control standards for popular medicines like including Tylenol and St. Joseph Aspirin.

“It is reprehensible that any company would manufacture medicine that could potentially harm children,” the attorney general wrote in a Twitter post. In a statement, Johnson & Johnson said its recalls of medicines, “were precautionary and not undertaken on the basis of any health or safety risks to consumers, and we remain committed to providing consumers with safe and effective over-the-counter medicines.”  @ SF Gate
