rx recalls

[whiteheadsr]

hello, i am not sure if this is the right place to put this, or if anyone wants to know. but one of my meds was on this recalls and it is an updated list as of yesturday. It is scary that they can give us these meds and then they are recalling them, there really should be better testing on them or something. If I did this wrong I am very sorry...
