I am more than ready for Excedrin Back & Body to return. It really worked for me. I don't know what it is but it seems that everything I use that works hits the recall list. What's up with these drug companies? With all the safeguards that are supposed to be in place one would hope this wouldn't happen. And I'm positive there will be a significant price increase or a formula change.

I think you will find Excedrin coming back when all the bottles that were recalled have been sold for $100.00. It is amazing there are still bottles to be sold. hmmm
