The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Saturday urged consumers to stop using liquid Tylenol, Motrin, Benadryl and Zyrtec medicines for children and infants after a broad recall announced by the manufacturer, although it said the chance of serious problems was remote.

Johnson & Johnson’s consumer division announced a broad recall of products, including certain liquid infant’s and children’s Tylenol, Motrin, Zyrtec, and Benadryl products late on Friday.

A full list of the over 40 affected products made by McNeil Consumer Healthcare is available at mcneilproductrecall.com

In the world of personal banking, credit unions always seem to come off as the good guys and banks, well, I probably don’t need to tell you which role they’re typically assigned.

But what makes credit unions so wonderful? And do they really live up to their shining reputation? Here’s what you need to know:

How does a credit union differ from a bank?
What other perks do credit unions offer?
So customers don’t get hit with many (or any) overdraft fees at credit unions?
What are the drawbacks to joining a credit union?
Are checking accounts FDIC-insured at credit unions up to $250,000, the way they are at banks?

If you lived through the MP3 revolution and still managed to hold on to a few of those ancient relics known as CDs, they’re probably in pretty bad shape.

A few scratches here and there, though, don’t necessarily mean that you have to toss your entire Aerosmith box set out with the Thursday morning trash.

Between their irritating ads and misleading name, FreeCreditReport.com has been a target of Consumerist’s derision for years. And now the “service,” which was never free to begin with, will actually cost you a dollar to use.

Now, when you go the site’s homepage you’re told, “Check your Report for $1 and get your Score Free! Plus, we’ll donate your dollar to charity.”

Aside from the Random CapitalizatioN in the first sentence, it doesn’t explain why they’re charging $1 for something you can get for free elsewhere. So in addition to signing up (perhaps unwittingly) for a 7-day free trial of Experian’s credit monitoring service that will cost you $14.95/month if you don’t cancel, you’ve now donated $1 to an unnamed charity.
