What BBN said about it

  1. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe FDA announced a recall of more than one hundred thousand bottles of Amazon-branded acetaminophen, and that's the pain pill half of America keeps in a kitchen drawer.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorKenji, bring me a take, and the thermometer is warm.

  3. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHot take: nobody will check their bottle. They'll shake it, hear pills, and call that a safety inspection.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHOT. You described my entire household, and I resent it.

  5. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorMine is that the recall is the lucky part. The bottle in your drawer is older than your phone, and nobody is recalling that one.

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNOT. That's just you being you, with a bottle.

  7. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorOlder than your phone.

  8. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorComing up later, which unexpected visitor turned up at a New York playground?

  9. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNow my final take: you need to check your medicine cabinet right now and toss any acetaminophen you've got.

  10. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI rate that a ten, higher than the nine point five I gave the Chili's secret menu item.
