Actavis Totowa Initiates Enormous Recall
Drug companies are required to maintain strict and tight standards when it comes to the overall manufacturing environment of their medications. This is obvious for many reasons, as any imperfection or potential danger that’s allowed to penetrate such a location can not only lead to harmful, but sometimes deadly, consequences.
No one knows yet if that’s the case with the plant at Actavis Totowa, LLC, but the company recently initiated a full recall of more than 60 different generic medications, effective immediately. This is due to inherent dangers that exist within the plant located in New Jersey, and this also comes on the heels of repeated warnings from the FDA to this very issue. Below is a list of recalled medications:
