Messa & Associates Files Lawsuit in Tylenol Recall Case that Killed Toddler

A lawsuit filed by Messa & Associates on behalf of the Estate of River Moore claims the two-year-old boy died after taking Very Berry Children Tylenol from a tainted batch.  The child suffered liver failure and died within a few days of taking the tainted Tylenol.

McNeil and Johnson & Johnson, the manufacturers of Tylenol, initiated a recall in 2010 when some of its products were allegedly contaminated with foreign materials due to an equipment-cleaning problem at its Fort Washington, Pa. plant.  Other recalls were issued because of a musty odor coming from the product.

Tylenol contains the active ingredient acetaminophen which has the potential to cause liver damage and even death when taken in large doses.  Acetaminophen causes three times as many cases of liver failure as all other drugs combined, and is the most common cause of acute liver failure in the United States.
