I got this email from my sister last week and looked it up on snopes.com to see if it's accurate (a great website for verifying all these chain emails!)  In short, this is true but out of date.  This list of started circulating in 2000, and since then many companies took that ingredient out.  You can check it out here: https://www.snopes.com/medical/drugs/ppa.asp

This drug was recalled years ago. If you happen to have anything in your medicine cabinet with PPA in it, it is expired and you shouldn't be taking it anyway.
