Acetaminophen pills recalled for metal WASHINGTON (AP) A pill designed to give people relief from headaches is instead causing them. Consumers are having to read the fine print on bottles of acetaminophen to see if die ones in their medicine cabinet are being recalled because of possible contamination with metal. Perrigo Co. said Thursday it was recalling 11 million bottles of acetaminophen after finding bits of metal, including portions of wire as long as one-third of an inch, in some of the 500-milligram pills it made.
The company is no household name, but it makes and sells acetaminophen to more than 120 of Americas best-known retailers, including Wal-Mart, CVS and Safeway. Those companies in turn sell Perrigo products under their own or other private labels. There were no immediate reports of injuries or illness. Still, at least two of the companies have begun yanking the Perrigo 500-milligram acetaminophen pills from store shelves. The Food and Drag Administration warned that consumers who take any of the contaminated pills could suffer minor stomach discomfort or possible cuts to the mouth and throat Even though the risk is remote, anyone who suspects they have been injured should contact a doctor.

(AP) Call it an opportunity for some below-sea-level recognition.
An online auction began Wednesday for naming rights to an artificial reef project organizers hope to establish off the Florida Keys. The reef is to be created by sinking the retired 524-foot U.S. Air Force missile-tracking ship General Hoyt S. Vandenberg, which monitored NASA space launches from 1963 to 1983. Since 1984, the ship has been among other decommissioned vessels at the James River Naval Reserve Fleet in Virginias James River.
The so-called Ghost Fleet is being dunned because of environmental concerns. Bidding on the online auction site eBay Inc. begins at $900,000, with a reserve price of $1.3 million, said Joe Weatherby, a project organizer with Artificial Reefs of the Keys. Domestic cars hit on reliability ratings DETROIT (AP) Fold new Fusion model earned high marks from both Consumer Reports testers and consumers who rated its reliability, the magazine said in its 2007 new car preview, showing that U.S. automakers may be making strides in initial quality.
Asian automakers once again dominated the closely watched reliability ratings, but U.S. automakers are steadily improving, David Champion, senior director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, said Thursday. Youre almost chasing a moving target, said Champion, who presented the findings from the magazines annual reliability survey and testing in Detroit The quality of cars has improved dramatically. The Fusion and the Mercu ry Milan were among the top-ranked family cars for predicted reliability, on par with the Honda Accord and the Toyota Camiy. The magazine bases its reliability forecasts on information provided by consumers for the past three model years.
In die case of the Fusion and the Milan, the rating is based on only one model year because die vehicles were new for 2006. Overall, Japanese automakers had 39 of die 47 vehicles with the best predicted reliability. U.S. manufacturers had six, including the Fusion, die Milan and the Lincoln Zephyr all from Ford Motor Co. General Motors Corp.
did well in large sport utility vehicles, earning top ratings for their Chevrolet Tahoe and the GMC Yukon, again based on one year of surveys because the trucks were redesigned.
