Johnson and Johnson's McNeil Consumer Healthcare has expanded its recall of its popular over-the-counter drugs Tylenol, Benadryl and Motrin because of a foul odor.

Consumers who bought these lots can contact McNeil for a refund or a coupon. The 21 lots sold in the United States, Fiji, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Trinidad, Tobago and Jamaica.

The drugs have what the company describes as a musty or moldy odor that has been blamed on the breakdown of a chemical on the wooden pallets used to store packing materials for the medicine.
