Major academic honcho, Chris MacDonald, calls attention to the background of my posting and right he is. I should have put more links and information into it. I’ll be more careful next time.

Here are his remarks –

Nice find (the Pharma Regulations blog). It’s worth following their link to the CNN story:
http://money.cnn.com/2010/09/20/news/companies/johnson_johnson_mounting_problems/index.htm
which in turn links to *this* CNN story…
http://money.cnn.com/2010/06/02/news/companies/mcneil_motrin_phantom_recall/index.htm
…which gives some hint of the reason for the recall (basically, there’s a problem with how the Motrin tablets dissolve).

It gives me great pleasure to be able to call attention to specific comments. The longer a piece is or the more significant the author (in the business or academic world), the more likely such a posting is.
