ALERT - Pain Medication Recall
According to American Pain Foundation there has been a "voluntary pain medication recall" for mis-labeling.
They say:
"Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and Qualitest, a generic drug manufacturing subsidiary, issued voluntary recalls on June 27, 2011 for certain lots of oxycodone with acetaminophen (Endocet), hydrocodone with acetaminophen (generic Vicodin) and butalbital, acetaminophen and caffeine (generic Fioricet) because some bottles may contain different strength tablets, resulting in individuals taking more than or less than the intended doses of active ingredients."
