Errors in birth control pills can lead to unintentional pregnancy

<![CDATA[

Qualitest Pharmaceuticals is recalling multiple lots of birth control pills because of a packaging error that may interfere with proper dosing and result in unintentional pregnancy.

The packaging error caused blisters to be rotated 180 degrees on the card, “reversing the weekly tablet orientation and making the lot number and expiry date no longer visible,” the company said in a recall announcement last week.

“As a result of this packaging error, the daily regimen for these oral contraceptives may be incorrect and could leave women without adequate contraception, and at risk for unintended pregnancy,” the company said.
