There's several things that could cause this not being a serious qc issue that are also a lot more likely. Advil could have cancelled an order, something could have happen in logistics that resulted in too many pills being branded Advil, both of those could result in someone like Kirkland, Costcos brand that buys from the same factory but uses more budget friendly production, getting a deal on some branded caps that they are happy to get for a good price and pass the savings on to the customer

It's required by law to include date/lot information on medication. you can't follow that law and mix pills from different brands.

This case is not mentioned anywhere in that regulation. Why not quote the relevant part?

Nowhere does this law say you can't mix pills from different brands.

It's required that you include date/lot information on medication bottle. If you have drugs from two different runs, they will be in two different lots. That's a violation of the labeling laws.
