The company announced late last night that it is recalling 28 lots of birth control pills not because of health risks, but because they don&#8217;t contain enough contraceptive to prevent pregnancy. Quick, go check that blister pack!<\/p>\n<p>Reuters reports that\u00a0Pfizer developed 14 lots of Lo\/Ovral-28 tablets and 14 lots of Norgestrel and Ethinyl Estradiol tablets that are short on those special active ingredients. The pills were created by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/2012\/02\/01\/us-birthcontrol-recall-idUSTRE81007G20120201\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pfizer <\/a>and marketed by Akrimax Pharmaceuticals. The blister packs have since gone nationwide to who knows how many\u00a0warehouses\u00a0and clinics.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u00a0recommends\u00a0that women &#8220;begin using a non-hormonal form of contraception immediately,&#8221; which is perhaps the most\u00a0ominous\u00a0statement I&#8217;ve ever seen in a press release. All kinds of lawsuits are bound to come out of this considerable lapse in quality control.<\/p>\n<p>Heed this warning ladies and spread the word to daughters, mothers, sisters and friends everywhere!<\/p>\n<p>(photo: <a href=\"\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/gallery-70320p1.html?cr=00&amp;pl=edit-00&quot;\">David Dea<\/a> \/ <a href=\"\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/?cr=00&amp;pl=edit-00&quot;\">Shutterstock.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recalls of all stripes may make any parent and mother uneasy, but a recent one by\u00a0Pfizer may have moms&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20793,"featured_media":193905,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[81,145],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":4,"label":"Pregnancy"}],"post_tag":[{"value":81,"label":"birth control"},{"value":145,"label":"pregnancy"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/mommyish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/nopic.jpg",500,500,false],"author_info":{"display_name":"Koa Beck","author_link":"https:\/\/mommyish.com\/author\/koa\/"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":4,"name":"Pregnancy","slug":"pregnancy","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":4,"taxonomy":"category","description":"Learn how to combine pregnancy and good health.
