Birth Control Pill Recall

A major scare today for women who take birth control pills. Drug manufacturer Pfizer has issued a voluntary recall of a million packs of brand name and birth control pills.

The pills may not be packaged in the correct sequence in which they should be taken. Women using the products risk pregnancy and should consult their doctors.

Although the pills are made and packaged by Pfizer, they are sold under various names. The recall includes 14 lots of brand–name birth control pills and 14 lots of generic birth control pills distributed across the U.S:
