Birth Control Pills Recalled Over Packaging Error.

reports Florida-based Apotex Corp. has issued a recall of four lots of Ethinyl Estradiol USP birth control pills “because the pills may be mislabeled and lead to unintended pregnancy.” An FDA recall notice says that “as a result of the packaging error, when a patient does not take a tablet due to a missing tablet or a patient takes a placebo instead of an active tablet, it could lead to unintended pregnancy.” The packs impacted by the recall “have an expiration date of August 2020 and the lot numbers 7DY008A, 7DY009A, 7DY010A and 7DY011A,” and were distributed to wholesalers and distributors nationwide. https://triblive.com/news/health-now/birth-control-pills-recalled-for-defective-packaging/
