Company recalling blood pressure pills because of potential impurity presence
Alto Pharmacy CEO Jamie Karraker explains how the digital drugstore plans to reduce prices in the U.S. on ‘The Claman Countdown.’
Lupin Pharmaceuticals issued a voluntary recall of some blood pressure medication due to the potential presence of a nitrosamine impurity, according to a notice published on the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) website.
The recall, issued last week, includes one batch of 20-milligram Quinapril Tablets USP — G102929 — and three batches of 40-milligram Quinapril Tablets USP – G100533, G100534 and G203071, the notice said.
Consumers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers can find the lot number on the side of the label affixed to bottles.
BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICATION RECALLED DUE TO CHEMICALS’ POSSIBLE LINK TO CANCER
Lupin Pharmaceuticals said, during recent testing, the presence of N-Nitroso-Quinapril had been “observed” at a level “above the acceptable daily intake (ADI) level.”
Nitrosamines, which are commonly found in water and certain foods, “may increase the risk of cancer if people are exposed to them above acceptable levels over long periods of time,” according to the recall notice. The company said all people are “exposed to some level” of these impurities.

There haven’t been any illnesses related to the recall reported to Lupin so far, according to the notice. The affected tablets, distributed across the country, are for high blood pressure treatment.

People taking 20-milligram or 40-milligram Quinapril Tablets USP should continue taking their medication and consult their medical providers for an alternate treatment, Lupin Pharmaceuticals said.
WALMART CHICKEN PRODUCTS RECALLED IN 28 STATES
In addition to a written recall notice, the company is calling wholesalers, distributors, drug chains, mail order pharmacies and supermarkets to let them know about the recall. Lupin Pharmaceuticals said in the release they should “immediately” stop distributing the affected tablets.
It is also making arrangements for all the affected batches to be returned, according to the notice.

Check out what’s clicking on FoxBusiness.com
The Laundress on Thursday recalled millions of its laundry and cleaning products in response to a bacteria exposure risk, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The recall encompasses 8 million units of certain laundry detergents, fabric conditioners, stain solutions, surface cleaners and other cleaning products from the company that safety regulators said consumers should “immediately stop” using. The CPSC said they include The Laundress items with lot codes “beginning with a prefix letter F and the last four digits numbered 9354 or less, H and the last four digits numbered 2262 or less, and T and the last four digits numbered 5264 or less.”
CLOROX RECALLING CERTAIN PINE-SOL CLEANING PRODUCTS BECAUSE OF BACTERIA EXPOSURE RISK
The Laundress has set up a recall website where consumers can find the full list of impacted products.
According to the CPSC release, the recalled products might contain bacteria such as Burkolderia cepacia complex, Klebsiella aerogenes and Pseudomonas, which can enter the body through the eyes, breaks in the skin and inhalations.
“The company is aware of 11 consumers who have reported Pseudomonas infections and is investigating these reports to see if there is any connection to the recalled products,” the CPSC’s release said.
CHILDREN’S CLOTHING SETS SOLD AT RETAILERS INCLUDING TJ MAXX, ROSS, AMAZON RECALLED FOR LEAD HAZARD
While the bacteria typically doesn’t affect people with healthy immune systems, exposure for immunocompromised people and individuals with chronic lung conditions or external medical devices poses a “risk of serious infection that may require medical treatment,” safety regulators said. For such individuals with recalled products, The Laundress recommended “rewashing the clothing” with an alternative product even though the “risk of bacteria being present on cleaned clothes is low.”
People can “rewash” clothing, dishes or surfaces “with an alternative product” if they have worries about having used The Laundress’ recalled products, the company said.
HAND SANITIZER RECALLED DUE TO UNDECLARED METHANOL
Websites where the affected products were sold include The Laundress and Amazon. In addition to The Laundress stores, they were also sold at retailers such as Bloomingdale’s, The Container Store, Saks Fifth Avenue, Target, Nordstrom and Brooklinen through September, the CPSC reported.
“We deeply apologize to all our loyal customers for this situation,” The Laundress said Thursday in a Facebook post. “We are undertaking decisive steps with our suppliers to ensure production processes meet our safety and quality standards.”
Consumers that have the recalled products should take a photo of the lot code “with their initials and the date written in marker” for the refund process before disposing of them, according to the CPSC.
They can visit thelaundressrecall.com to submit a reimbursement request.

Customers who have had a reaction and symptoms, or have any questions, should visit the company’s website Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time.

Exposure to benzene, which can occur by inhalation, orally, and through the skin, can result in cancers, including leukemia and blood cancer of the bone marrow, and life threatening blood disorders.
“Based on exposure modeling and the cancer risk assessments published by the Environmental Protection Agency, daily exposure to benzene in the recalled products at the levels detected in our testing would not be expected to cause adverse health consequences,” Proctor & Gamble emphasized in its recall notice on Tuesday.

Proctor & Gamble, which has notified retailers to remove the impacted products from its shelves, has not received any reports of adverse events related to the recall to date. Consumers should stop using and discard the affected aerosol spray products. Old Spice and Secret will offer reimbursement to consumers who have purchased the impacted products.

Johnson & Johnson is recalling sunscreens due to low levels of benzene, a carcinogen
Johnson & Johnson said Wednesday that it is recalling five of its sunscreen products after some samples were found to contain low levels of benzene, a chemical that can cause cancer with repeated exposure.
The affected products, packaged in aerosol cans, are Aveeno Protect + Refresh aerosol sunscreen, and four Neutrogena sunscreen versions: Beach Defense aerosol sunscreen, CoolDry Sport aerosol sunscreen, Invisible Daily Defense aerosol sunscreen and UltraSheer aerosol sunscreen.
The recall includes all can sizes and all levels of sun protection factor, or SPF. The products were distributed nationwide through retailers.
Traces of benzene were detected in dozens of popular sunscreens and after-sun products, according to tests conducted by online pharmacy and lab Valisure, CBS News reported last month.
Benzene, a known carcinogen, was found in 78 of nearly 300 sprays and lotions tested — about 27% — including products sold by Banana Boat and CVS, according to Valisure
The health care giant said it is investigating how the chemical got into the products.
David Light, the founder and CEO of Valisure, believes the issue is manufacturing contamination affecting specific batches. While the source of the contaminant is unknown and more of the products tested passed than failed, Light urged manufacturers and consumers to take the matter seriously.
“Benzene is one of the most studied and concerning human carcinogens known to science. Its association with forming blood cancers in humans has been shown in numerous studies at trace levels of parts per million and below. The presence of this known human carcinogen in products widely recommended for the prevention of skin cancer and that are regularly used by adults and children is very troubling,” Light said in the company’s statement.
J&J said it’s working to get all lots of the five products removed from store shelves. It urged consumers to stop using the sunscreens immediately and said customers can get a refund by calling J&J’s Consumer Care Center at 1-800-458-1673. More information is available at the websites for Neutrogena and Aveeno.
J&J said in a statement that “use of these products would not be expected to cause adverse health consequences” and that it voluntarily decided to recall them “out of an abundance of caution.” The statement added that people should use an alternate sunscreen to protect themselves from the skin cancer melanoma.
Benzene is a highly flammable, widely used chemical that’s present throughout the environment. It can cause cancer with repeated exposure at high enough levels. It also can damage the immune system and prevent cells from functioning properly, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The chemical’s effects vary by whether a person accidentally inhales or ingests it or gets it on skin and clothing. Symptoms range from dizziness and irregular heartbeat to convulsions and, at very high levels, death.
J&J, which is based in New Brunswick, New Jersey, said it has notified the Food and Drug Administration of the recall.
Valisure encouraged people to send in their own samples of sunscreen and sun care products for evaluation. The company also made their FDA petition to recall the products public, which includes a list of the batches with detected benzene levels. The products can be found on pages 12 to 15.
Below is a list of sunscreens and sun care products that were tested by Valisure and found not to contain benzene.

Mercedes recalling more than 1 million vehicles over emergency-call tech issue
Mercedes-Benz USA is recalling 1.29 million vehicles because of a failure in its eCall software which may not provide a vehicle’s correct location to emergency responders after a crash, Car and Driver reported.
The recall covers vehicles sold from model years 2016 to 2021 and includes CLA-Class, GLA-Class, GLE-Class, GLS-Class, SLC-Class, A-Class, GT-Class, C-Class, E-Class, S-Class, CLS-Class, SL-Class, B-Class, GLB-Class, GLC-Class, and G-Class vehicles, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The automaker said it was unaware of any instances of material damages or personal injuries that have resulted from the issue, and plans to provide a free software update to be installed over the air or at dealerships. The recall will begin April 6th.
Mercedes-Benz said “a temporary collapse of the communication module’s power supply caused by a crash might lead to the vehicle’s position during a potential emergency call being incorrect.” However, “other functions of the automatic and manual emergency call function remain fully operational,” the company added.
Reuters reported that in 2019, Mercedes-Benz in Europe investigated an incident where the automatic eCall system provided an incorrect position for its vehicle. The company found other situations where an incorrect vehicle position was relayed.
