Rolaid Recall = Money-Maker

Thanks Janice A for this good info about the Rolaids recall:

Rolaids Recall (12/14/2010 7:40:56 PM):  Just a heads up--if you haven't done it already, be sure to contact McNeil about the SoftChews recall. I had 13 bags, and I'm getting back $43! I told the nice young man I'd bought them on sale with coupons and paid only $1 each. I also offered to clip and mail the lot numbers, etc. But, he insisted it wasn't necessary and I'd get the full retail price. I'll let everybody know when I get the check. Here's the website, the phone# is there. You can send the info in an email if you have 6 bags or less. http://www.rolaids.com/page.jhtml?id=rolaids/include/recall_dec.inc,

While our investigation is ongoing we have suspended production of ROLAIDS® Extra Strength Softchews, ROLAIDS® Extra Strength plus Gas Softchews, and ROLAIDS® Multi-Symptom plus Anti-Gas Softchews and will not restart production until corrective actions have been implemented.
