Pharmalot: The Sorry List of Johnson & Johnson Troubles


“We now see a strong likelihood of near-term FDA enforcement action.”


Once again Ed Silverman in his Pharmalot blog outlines the issues that have plagued the pharmaceutical industry giant over mandated recalls, “phantom recalls”, other regulatory misdeeds that have impacted their venerable brands including Tylenol, Mylanta, Motrin, Rolaids and Benadryl.

In his blog, Mr. Silverman cites Wells Fargo Securities analyst Larry Bigelsen regarding the potential impact of continued FDA scrutiny on their operations and to J&J stock.

This blog presents some interesting, whimsical insight into the depth of the problem and the potential impact operationally and financially to J&J.

Secure Pharma Chain sees this as a cautionary tale to the pharmaceutical supply chain- protect the production, quality, efficacy and distribution of your product and inventories within the supply chain or risk the reputation and viability with the consumer. The stakes are high and the consequences to the brand and the consumer can be lethal.

It is vital that all members of the pharmaceutical supply chain deploy and utilize technologies that protect consumers from adulterated, fraudulent, sub-standard, poor quality and counterfeit drugs.
