Drug Recall
On 23 November 2012, Indian drugmaker Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd. voluntarily recalled 10-, 20- and 40-mg doses of its generic version of atorvastatin in the United States, a development that could further dent its image in the world's largest prescription drug market, in which the company faced an earlier ban. (The 80-mg dose of atorvastatin was not recalled.) Controlled by Japan's Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ranbaxy has had a troubled history in the United States, where in 2009 the Food and Drug Administration banned shipments from some of its manufacturing plants to the United States.

Famous quotes containing the words drug and/or recall:
“He’d been numb a long time, years. All his nights down Ninsei, his nights with Linda, numb in bed and numb at the cold sweating center of every drug deal. But now he’d found this warm thing, this chip of murder. Meat, some part of him said. It’s the meat talking, ignore it.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“Imagining that I could
A greater with a lesser pang assuage
Or but to find if withered vein ran blood,
I tore my body that its wine might cover
Whatever could recall the lip of lover.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
