Hetero Labs, Ltd. is recalling one lot of Simvastatin Tablets (40 mg), a prescription medication used to lower cholesterol. The recall was initiated after a metallic razor blade was discovered inside a single 1000-count bottle of the medication. This recall affects the 1000-count bulk bottles distributed nationwide under the Camber Pharmaceuticals, Inc. label.
The presence of a foreign metallic object like a razor blade in a medication bottle poses a severe risk of deep cuts or lacerations if a consumer reaches into the bottle. Additionally, there is a potential for serious internal injury or choking if any metal fragments from the blade contaminated the tablets and were unknowingly ingested.
