LUBRICANTS RECALLED: Johnson & Johnson's McNeil unit has taken three versions of its popular personal lubricants off the market: K-Y Tingling Jelly, K-Y Sensitive Jelly and K-Y Silk-E Vaginal Moisturizer and Personal Lubricant.

SAFE SEX: The products were removed from stores several weeks ago. McNeil says they're safe and consumers can use any they have left. A dozen other K-Y versions are still on the market.

REGULATORY PROBLEM: McNeil recently determined each might require a detailed review by regulators. When it first put them on sale, McNeil had considered them similar enough to existing products to not require that.
