In conjunction with the Food and Drug Administration, we are expanding our original voluntary recall to include all lots of Lipitor that Albers purchased, which were packaged by Med-Pro.

If you have distributed or sold any of these products to other distributors, retail pharmacies, or individual persons you should provide notice to them of this recall and advise them that the recall information should be provided to all consumers who received these products. These products should not be used. They should be returned immediately.
