Birth Control Pills Recall

Not something women who use birth control want to hear. A recall has been issued on birth control pills, by Qaulitest Pharmaceuticals, due to placebo pills being placed in the wrong slots. This has lawsuit written all over it. I expect to hear reports of women who wanted to put off rearing children until later in life and had a surprise pregnancy due to this mishap.

The recall states that two Clyclafem, two Glidess, as well as Orsythia, Previfen, Emoquette and Tri-Previfem birth control pills were rotated 180 degrees past where they should have been. This mistake reversed the dosage, placing some days with placebo pills incorrectly.
