Pfizer’s Lipitor stinks. Literally. About six lots of Lipitor have come into contact with the pesticide 2,4,6-Tribromoanisole, the same chemical that contaminated numerous J&J products…and resulted in the FDA finally uncovering the systemic manufacturing abuses.
However, Pfizer is quick to point out that it acted quickly in initiating the recall, in stark contrast to J&J who waited months, and only then tried to hide the recall via “phantom recalls.”
