Packaging issue leads to voluntary Pfizer recall
|
|
Packaging's significance was in the national spotlight Feb. 1 as Pfizer Inc. announced a voluntary recall of Lo/Ovral®-28 (norgestrel and ethinyl estradiol) and Norgestrel and Ethinyl Estradiol Tablets (generic) birth control pills in the U.S. Twenty-eight lots, or approximately one million packs of contraceptive products, were recalled due to out-of-order placebo pill placement in some packs.

Sanofi Pasteur launches 2D bar coding for pediatrics
|
|
The American Academy of Pediatrics and Sanofi Pasteur, the vaccines division of Sanofi, announced that pediatric offices across the country will now have access to a new vaccine packaging technology that will capture more product information in a simple two-dimensional (2D) scan--including lot numbers and expiration dates--than was possible in a standard linear bar-code scan. The new technology is designed to reduce medical errors and help healthcare providers document vaccine information in patient records with greater accuracy. |

Packaging and cough-and-cold meds for children
|
|
As a result of research and U.S. FDA warnings, the Consumer Healthcare Products Assn., which represents most of the makers of children's OTC cough-and-cold medicines, announced that its members were voluntarily changing their product labels to say "do not use" in children under 4 years of age, and introducing child-resistant packaging and new measuring devices.
