Able Laboratories Issues Nationwide Drug Recall

Able Laboratories of Cranbury, NJ, is conducting a nationwide recall of all of its manufactured drugs, mostly generic prescription drugs, because of serious concerns that they were not produced according to quality assurance standards. Consumers are being advised to continue taking the medication until they have spoken with their health care provider. The recall only applies to the drugs produced by Able Laboratories, NOT to the same drugs produced by other manufacturers. The FDA has provided a list of the recalled drugs, which includes:

• Acetaminophen with Codeine
