Maker of Defective Digitek Recalls All Generic Drugs Made at New Jersey Factory

Digitek, as you may or may not remember was found to contain twice the amount of active ingredient in the tablets earlier this year. The list is below as published by the FDA. The recall is being conducted for retailers to return their products currently. It sounds like we are having issues here as well as those in other countries with quality assurance. BD

Actavis Totowa, the maker of defective Digitek tablets, has announced a recall of all generic drugs manufactured at its plant in Little Falls, New Jersey. According to the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) notice, the recall was prompted by an inspection at the facility which revealed that operations did not meet the FDAs standards for good manufacturing practices. Actavis Totowa is asking pharmacies, hospitals and retailers to return the affected prescription medications.
