Procter & Gamble's Issue: Some Of Their Products May Be Contaminated With Filth!


Procter & Gamble is a multinational manufacturer of consumer goods ranging from over-the-counter drugs to disposable diapers.The FDA issued a warning to the company about the "unsanitary conditions" that some of their products have been processed in.A whole lot of people buy their products,so this is quite alarming!Here's more from The AP:

"U.S. regulators warned Procter & Gamble Co. over unsanitary conditions at a plant that makes Olay skin care products and Vicks cold medicine in Puerto Rico, according to a letter released Tuesday.

The warning letter from the Food and Drug Administration said problems at the Olay LLC plant in Cayey may have caused contamination or threatened the health of consumers. It faulted failures in following procedures for cleaning maintenance equipment.

An inspection found over-the-counter drug products have been "prepared, packed and held under unsanitary conditions whereby they may have been contaminated with filth or rendered injurious to health," said the letter.

Paul Fox, a spokesman for Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble, said none of the issues raised by the FDA compromised the safety of any products.

But he said FDA inspectors did identify areas "where we can and will make improvements," and the company has begun a review of the plant's manufacturing practices."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
