by Barbara Kram, Editor | July 31, 2006

The Pfizer Consumer Healthcare brands complement Johnson & Johnson's well-known consumer and OTC products, which include BAND-AID© Brand Adhesive Bandage, TYLENOL©, REACH©, SPLENDA© and the CLEAN & CLEAR©, AVEENO© and NEUTROGENA© skin care brands. Johnson & Johnson is uniquely positioned to drive continued growth in Pfizer Consumer Healthcare's product portfolio and create new market opportunities through its proven capability of expanding enduring brands geographically and by bringing continuing scientific innovation into consumer brands.

"Being broadly based in health care allows us to leverage our expertise in science and technology across our businesses," Weldon said. "Through this acquisition, we look to benefit both from Pfizer Consumer Healthcare's excellent product portfolio and pipeline and from the valuable skills and experience of its employees."
