What to do with that tainted drug manufacturing plant? Three ideas…
It’s a bad, bad manufacturing plant.
You probably remember last spring’s shocking recall of children’s Tylenol, Motrin, Zyrtec, and Benadryl. FDA investigators found numerous quality control problems at a Johnson & Johnson manufacturing plant in Pennsylvania.
Bacterial contamination, “specks” found in medicine, out- of-control dosage levels–a true horror show of mismanagement.
The plant was shut down when the scandal broke. And now we hear that J&J might not even attempt a renovation. One of the options: Tear down the building and start from scratch.
Pharmalot reports that a new facility would “allow J&J to consider other strategic uses for the plant.”
Other strategic uses? Hmmm…maybe I can help with that.
Here are three can’t-miss ideas…
1) J&J Superstore–aisles 90 yards long, shelving 30 ft. high, jammed with giant economy size bottles of Tylenol, Motrin, and Procrit–five-gallon buckets of Listerine, Visine, and Mylanta– and Family Size cases of every size and shape of Band-Aids you can imagine. Open 24/7/365, of course.
2) J&J Restaurant, Bar & Arcade. It’s about time Dave & Busters had a little competition.
3) J&J Haunted Human Research Lab. This use is pretty much limited to just the rest of this month, but they could probably get it up and running in the existing building in a couple of days. Just install some dramatic lighting, crank up the smoke machines, then dress guys as zombies in grimy lab coats. Those grimy lab coats are probably still hanging in the closets.
No need to thank me, J&J. I’m just here to help.
To Your Good Health,
