The recall was issued for 170,000 sample packs of Allergan’s birth control pill called TAYTULLA.
The capsules are allthe same color and size so taking them out of sequence “may place the user at risk for contraceptive failure and unintended pregnancy,” according to Allergan. Women who are concerned about unintended pregnancy as a result of the recall, should consult their doctor, the company stated.
Allergan said it has not heard of any unintended pregnancies caused by the faulty packaging, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.
