Product recalls

[Linnear]

Am I just getting cynical or is it one helluva coincidence that we have had not one but three Class 1 product recalls in ten days all while the OFT are looking into supply of meds.


Anyone tell me how a drug company finds a dodgy tablet supplied via PI?
(Not making a point, actually asking a question)

Do drug companies have to carry out QA on PI products shipped into this country? If they do, where do they get them from? Do they get the tabs shipped straight from the importers or do they get them from the wholesalers?

This has crossed my mind as well, so might it cross the mind of the OFT panel? There is/are counterfiet everything around these days.
