Tylenol is also bad your livers too, kids. Don't take it when you might be drinking later & don't take it in excess or long term unless under a doctor's care.

Yeah, Tylenol's bad... but don't get me started on anti-inflammatories... You know a pill's doing damage to your system when you feel sharp pains in your stomach, moments after taking it...

Lol... I was talking about anti-inflammatories hurting my stomach, but I wouldn't doubt it if there was some fucked up foreign objects accidently being mixed into those...
How can something like that just go unnoticed for so long??! Millions of people consume that shit everyday, and the employees were probably drunk and dicking around while metal chips fell into the mix...
the end of the story says:

"Perrigo has carried out at least 32 other product recalls since 1993, according to FDA records. As recently as May, it recalled nearly 59,000 bottles of a 500-milligram combination pain-reliever and sleep aid that contains acetaminophen because of contamination with acrylic mirror particles. "

WTF??? How do you just let acrylic mirror particles fall into so much mixture??! And before that, they've had 32 other product recalls. How the hell is this place still standing???
