that it will recall about 30,000 packets of the product from the market due to concerns over a lack of quality assurance.
An inspection of the manufacturing facility revealed that data showing the drug’s main ingredients was inaccurate.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found last year during an inspection of a pharmaceutical factory commissioned by Tien Liang Biotech Co. to manufacture the cold capsules that there were concerns over the factory lab testing process and abnormalities in data items in its lab report, Hsieh Chi-wen (謝綺雯), a section chief under the FDA, said Monday.
The FDA then issued a demand that the factory authorize a third-party lab to carry out testing in a designated time period and halt delivery of other items in the same product line to ensure safety, according to Hsieh. [FULL STORY]
