Pfizer Recalls Caduet Tablets Due to Defective Bottle Seals

Pfizer is recalling 141 bottles of Caduet tablets because defective bottle rims may have allowed moisture to enter, potentially compromising the medication.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves potential moisture exposure due to packaging defects, which fits the criteria for moderate severity involving low-risk contamination or packaging issues.

Plain-English summary

Pfizer Inc. is recalling 141 bottles of Caduet (amlodipine and atorvastatin) tablets, 10 mg/20 mg, 30-count bottles. The recall affects Lot CY0937 with an expiration date of 12/2021. The product was distributed nationwide in the USA.

The recall was initiated because the products may have been packaged in defective bottles with a notched rim. This defect could cause inadequate foil sealing, resulting in a lack of moisture protection for the medication.
