WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A voluntary recall of Tylenol Arthritis Pain Caplets is being expanded because of consumer reports of an unusual moldy odor with the 100-count bottles, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said late on Monday.

The FDA said it and Johnson & Johnson were expanding the recall to all available product lots of the pain caplets with the distinctive red EZ-open cap.

The initial recall involved five lots of the product in November after reports of an unusual musty or mildew-like odor that was associated with nausea, stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea, the FDA said.

The agency said the odor was believed to have been caused by the breakdown of a chemical used to treat wooden pallets that transport and store packaging materials.

It said the health effects of the compound have not been well studied, but the events reported to the company have been temporary and not serious.

The FDA said consumers who bought Tylenol Arthritis Pain Caplet 100-count bottles with the red cap from the lots included in the recall should stop using the product and contact McNeil Consumer Healthcare for a refund or replacement.

NEW YEAR’S DAY DANGER: New Year’s is just around the corner. Beware of the walk home after the party– especially if you’ve been drinking. Studies show that more pedestrians are killed on the first day of the year than on any other day and many of those killed have elevated blood alcohol levels. The researchers say if you’re walking you should also be cautious of drivers who may have also been drinking.

WORKOUT RESOLUTIONS: It’s time to make resolutions. For many people the resolution to exercise and get fit doesn’t stick. There is a new study out– it shows the top reason why people give up is because they feel self-conscious at the gym. The researchers from George Washington University Medical Center surveyed more than 1,500 overweight men and women. Many reported feeling embarrassed about sweating it out in front of others who are in better shape.
