Audience: All Healthcare professionals and consumers
The Food and Drug Administration notified consumers and healthcare
professionals of a nationwide recall of all manufactured drugs
(mostly generic prescription drugs, including drugs containing
acetaminophen) from Able Laboratories of Cranbury, NJ, because of
serious concerns that they were not produced according to quality
assurance standards. Able Laboratories has ceased all current
production. FDA recommends that people who have been taking drugs
produced by this firm speak with their health care provider or
pharmacist to obtain a replacement drug product. Consumers should
continue taking the medication until they have spoken with their
health care provider. FDA has provided a list with the names of the
recalled drugs and their imprint codes, marks (usually letters and
numbers) found on the surfaces of drugs.
