Members of a Congressional Committee today questioned whether some of the problems that resulted in several recalls of over-the-counter medicines at drug maker Johnson & Johnson were symptoms of a "too cozy" relationship between the company and the Food and Drug Administration.

Meanwhile William C. Weldon, the company's chairman and CEO, offered the panel profuse apologies for problems that led to the recall of 135 millions bottles of children's liquid medicines and smaller amounts of Motrin pills.
