What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe acetaminophen recall now has a firmer number tonight: more than one hundred twelve thousand bottles of extra-strength pills, all sold on Amazon.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentSeveral local stations are reporting the FDA recall as nationwide, which means the bottles didn't stay in one warehouse or one zip code.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIf you bought a bottle there, check the label and the lot number against the recall notice before you take another dose.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIt's a pain reliever that's now a pain. I find that very settling.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThe reports don't say anyone was hurt, so the data supports checking the bottle, not panicking over it.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNot yet, Nina. Give the cabinet time.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMost of us buy it once and then trust the cabinet for three years.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorAnd nobody has read a label since the last recall.
