Lipitor Recall 2010
Cholesterol Drug Recalled As a result of Moldy Smell
Drugmaker Pfizer Inc. announced Friday it might recall 38,000 bottles of its blockbuster cholesterol drug Lipitor because of an unpleasant odor, the third recall this yr connected to the problem.
The new York-based drugmaker said the most recent recall was triggered by two consumer complaints about a musty or moldy odor on Lipitor bottles, which are made by an exterior company in Puerto Rico.
Pfizer has recalled more than 360,000 bottles of Lipitor inside the last 3 months because of your problem. The business recalled 140,000 bottles in August and another 191,000 earlier this month.
Friday’s action impacts two product lots.
