Pfizer recalled 191,000 bottles of Lipitor due to odor
The world's top drug maker recalled 191,000 bottles of its anti-cholesterol drug Lipitor due to reports of a moldy odor emanating from bottles supplied by a third-party – the same problem that resulted in the recall of millions of Tylenol bottles.
Pfizer spokesman Rick Chambers said the company recalled seven lots of Lipitor (five in the U.S. and 2 in Canada) in August "due to a small number of reports of uncharacteristic odor related to the bottles in which the product is packaged."
