What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorCheck your medicine cabinet. More than one hundred twelve thousand bottles of acetaminophen are being recalled, and FOX Nineteen in Cincinnati has the story.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat is the pain reliever half of America reaches for at two in the morning, usually without turning on a light.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo the advice is simple: find the bottle, read the label, and compare it against the recall notice before you take anything else.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentReading the label is a big ask. Most people's medicine cabinet is a dark cave with three expired bottles and one lone cough drop.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA cave? Mine is organized by color, and there's a label maker involved.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWell, naturally it is.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentMine's a shoebox. I shake it and pick whichever one rattles the most.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorPlease do not do that.
