J&J to add red warning label to Tylenol in effort to raise awareness on appropriate dosing

NEW YORK — Johnson & Johnson last week reported it will add a red warning to caps of Tylenol to reinforce the risks of taking too much acetaminophen, the Associated Press reported last week. 

The alert will appear on the caps of Extra Strength Tylenol beginning in October, according to the report. 

The new warning on Tylenol caps will read: “Contains Acetaminophen” and “Always Read the Label.”
