Small recall for cytomel/triostat

[Guest guest]

I don't know if anyone else has received this notice. It is only one Lot # of 5

mcg. tablets. Reason is that they are not strong enough. The warning came from

Iguard.org. I have copied/pasted the notice below. Pati

Paddock Laboratories, Inc. Recalls Single Lot of LiothyronineTablets

Tablets, 5 mcg. Lot number 9C548 has been recalled because routine testing found

Liothyronine used in the treatment of hypothyroidism, a condition in which the

thyroid gland does not make enough thyroid hormone Liothyronine is also sold
