More than 100 companies have been affected by Perrigo Co.’s recall of acetaminophen, including some top retailers in Maine.
On the FDA’s list: BJ’s Wholesale, CVS, Save-A-Lot and Wal-Mart. Hannaford and Shaw’s supermarkets were also affected by the recall and have pulled their generic acetaminophen supplies from store shelves.
The 500 mg strength medication has been recalled because it may have been contaminated with metal.
