Warfarin Recall

The recall was voluntarily launched by the manufacturer after it found that a single bottle labeled as containing 3 milligram tablets actually contained 10 mg tablets, according to theFood and Drug Administration. Taking that much excessive warfarin, a blood thinner used to prevent blood clot, could lead to life-threatening bleeding. The recalled lot is #284081 with an expiration date of September 2012. The 3 mg tablets are tan with “WRF” and “3” imprinted on one side, while the 10 mg tablets are white with “WRF” and “10” imprinted on one side.
