Johnson and Johnson is recalling more than 60,000 bottles of Tylenol Extra Strength caplets because of a musty, moldy smell. The pills were made in February 2009.

The odor has been linked to a trace chemical known to cause temporary stomach ailments.

The product lot number for the recalled Tylenol Extra Strength product can be found on the side of the bottle label — it is ABA619 300450444271.

Customers should stop using the product from the lot immediately and contact McNeil Consumer Healthcare via Tylenol.com or by calling 1-888-222-6036 for instructions on receiving a refund or product coupon.

It says the pills were made in 2009. Maybe that's why the pills smell moldy.
