Perrigo has recalled 11 million bottles of their generic over-the-counter pain killer containing acetaminophen caplets after discovering metal fragments in some batches.
These are 500-mg pills sold as various store brands in the US including: Wal-Mart, Safeway, CVS and Food Lion.
So far there have been no injuries resulting from this recalled product.

My issue is Zyprexa which is only FDA approved for schizophrenia (.5-1% of pop) and some bipolar (2% pop) and then an even smaller percentage of theses two groups.
So how does Zyprexa get to be the 7th largest drug sale in the world?
Eli Lilly is in deep trouble for using their drug reps to ‘encourage’ doctors to write zyprexa for non-FDA approved ‘off label’ uses.
The drug causes increased diabetes risk,and medicare picks up all the expensive fallout.There are now 7 states (and counting) going after Lilly for fraud and restitution.
