Comments on: With Tylenol Recall 2010, A Corporate Icon Stumbles http://www.citizens.org/?p=1832 The Voice of the Natural Health Consumer Fri, 27 Aug 2010 17:18:28 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: Joe http://www.citizens.org/?p=1832&cpage=1#comment-711 Joe Mon, 25 Jan 2010 20:45:13 +0000 http://www.citizens.org/?p=1832#comment-711 Great points Laurent. It seems that Johnson and Johnson didn't learn well from their past mistakes. I find it interesting that while Johnson and Johnson has announced that they will forgo wood pallets as a way to prevent this outbreak in the future, the wood pallet companies have remained largely mute on the subject. They know that their product is dangerous. In fact an industry spokesperson said that “nobody checks” whether banned chemicals are used in making or treating wooden pallets as they come into the U.S. in Transport Topics last week. If that's the case, why haven't they been stopped? I've written about the dangers of pallets on my blog (http://www.pallettruth.com). Hopefully one good thing to come out of this recall is the recognition that wood pallets are dangerous and need to be avoided. Great points Laurent.
