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.
