Congressional Democrats are investigating an alleged "phantom recall" by Johnson & Johnson, in which the company hired a contractor to buy up defective painkillers instead of issuing an immediate recall.

The company's handling of problems with its Motrin tablets came to light last week at a Congressional hearing to examine ongoing quality issues with J&J medications. Lawmakers began investigating the company over its most recent recall of more than 130 million bottles of children's medicine, some of which contained tiny particles of metal.

On Tuesday lawmakers announced an investigation into the company's handling of an older quality issue with more than 88,000 Motrin packets distributed in 2008.

In a May 28 letter obtained by The Associated Press, a House committee chairman asks J&J's CEO William Weldon to turn over information relating to the so-called phantom recall.

1. Interesting.

The recall notice that I read said that it was because the strengths of the medicine were not reliable.
I ended up with 6 bottles of medication that were on the list.
