Allergan recalled one lot of Taytulla birth control pill sample packs because a packaging problem put placebos where actual capsules were supposed to be and vice versa.
Allergan recalled one lot of Taytulla birth control pill sample packs after a packaging snafu put placebo capsules in slots meant for actual birth control capsules.
A physician informed Allergan of the error in the first four days of a 28-count sample pack. The pack has 24 pink capsules with « WC » on them to be taken for 24 days, then four maroon capsules (the placebo caps) to be taken for the next four days.
The recalled packs put the placebos up front.
« As a result of this packaging error, oral contraceptive capsules that are taken out of sequence may place the user at risk for contraceptive failure and unintended pregnancy, » states the company-written, FDA-posted recall notice . « The reversing of the order may not be apparent to either new users or previous users of the product, increasing the likelihood of taking the capsules out of order. »
Consumers with the recalled packs can contact their doctor about a return. Anyone with questions about the recall can call Allergan at 1-800-678-1605, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Eastern time.
