NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The government is taking over three Tylenol plants following a blizzard of drug recalls and a Food and Drug Administration criminal investigation into safety issues at the factories.

The FDA and the Justice Department on Thursday took action against McNeil PPC and two of its executives -- its vice president of quality and its vice president of operations for over-the-counter products -- for failing to comply with federally-mandated manufacturing practice. . .

One would think that given the huge hit the brand Tylenol took over that product tampering case years ago, that McNeil / J & J, would realize the importance of complying with cGmp and federally mandated practices relating to cleanliness, contamination, and product safety. . .

Just another case of the fat cats thinking they are immune to the law and that they can placate fed requirements with a dog and pony show. . .
