Pfizer's Birth Control Pill Mix Up Could Cause Unintended Pregnancies

Pfizer recalled certain lots of the pill Lo/Ovral-38 as well as lots of the generic version norgestrel and ethinyl estradiol tablets. The affected packets have expiration dates ranging between July 31, 2013, and March 31, 2014, and the lot numbers are located on Pfizer's website.
"Consumers exposed to affected packaging should begin using a non-hormonal form of contraception immediately," according to a public statement released by Pfizer. end quote from above word button
