Actavis Totowa Generic Drug Recall Lawyers
------------------------------------------
Keywords: Actavis Drug Recall Lawyer Lawsuit

The lawyers and attorneys at our firm are currently offering free case
evaluations to individuals injured by defective generic drugs
manufactured by Actavis Totowa LLC at its Falls River, New Jersey
facility. On August 1, 2008, Actavis Totowa recalled all generic drugs
made at that facility because of manufacturing issues. If you believe
you suffered an adverse reaction from one of these recalled
medications, we urge you to contact one of our Actavis Totowa generic
drug recall lawyers as soon as possible to protect your rights.
The Actavis Totowa generic drug recall lawyers at our firm have
learned that the company's Falls River, New Jersey manufacturing plant
has been the subject of numerous safety issues in the past. This
includes one other drug recall, as well as a warning letter issued by
the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in 2007 regarding inadequate
conditions at the plant. Clearly, the fact that Actavis Totowa has
found it necessary to recall every medication made at Falls River
indicates that previous safety problems were not adequately addressed.
Our Actavis Totowa generic drug recall lawyers intend to hold this
company responsible for this failure.

Actavis Totowa Generic Drug Recall
The Actavis Totowa generic drug recall was initiated after an
inspection of the facility revealed that operations did not meet the
FDA’s standards for good manufacturing practices. Actavis Totowa asked
pharmacies, hospitals and retailers to return the affected
prescription medications.

The Actavis Totowa generic drug recall was initiated at the retail
level only, and patients were not told to discard of their potentially
defective medications. Both the company and the FDA have maintained
that the recall is precautionary, and that no injuries have been
reported as a result of the defective generic drugs. However, the vast
majority of adverse drug reactions are never reported, and our Actavis
Totowa generic drug recall lawyers believe that it is entirely
possible that these shoddy medications have already injured many
people.
The Actavis Totowa generic drug recall involved dozens of medications.
The drugs recalled were:

Amantadine 100mg capsules

Previous Actavis Totowa Safety Problems

Actavis Totowa has had a history of safety problems. Months before its
generic drug recall, in April 2008, Actavis recalled Digitek tablets
because some of the medication contained twice the active ingredient
normally found in Digitek. According to the FDA, the Digitek defect
could cause serious and even fatal digitalis reactions in users. Some
of the faulty Digitek tablets involved in this earlier recall were
made at the New Jersey facility.
The FDA deemed the Digitek recall a Class I recall, meaning that the
defective Digitek tablets could cause serious health problems or
death. According to the agency, there have been several reports of
illnesses and injuries in patient taking Digitek. Actavis said it had
11 such reports. But because not all adverse reactions are reported to
the FDA or manufacturers, the true number could be much higher.

In February 2007, the FDA issued a warning letter to Actavis Totowa
following an inspection of the Little Falls facility completed in
August 2006. The violations cited in that letter included: significant
deficiencies in the company's quality control unit; laboratory
notebooks that did not include all raw test data generated during
testing; failure to check for accuracy the inputs to and outputs from
the "Total Chrom Data Acquisition System," which was used to run the
firm's HPLC instruments; quality control failed to recognize that some
tablets that did not meet in-process specifications; lack of adequate
procedures for conducting bulk product holding time studies; cleaning
validation studies were found to be inadequate; master and batch
production and control records were found to be deficient; and
equipment used in the manufacture of Benztropine Mesylate tablets and
other drug products was not adequately qualified.
In the warning letter, the FDA stated that it had reviewed the firm's
corrective actions promised in a letter dated Aug. 29, 2006. The
agency found that while corrections the firm promised in its
correspondence appeared to adequately address many of the violations,
the FDA reiterated its concern about the quality of drug products that
were released from the facility under the serious lack of controls
found during the inspection.
