The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the recall of Westminster Pharmaceuticals thyroid tablets due to the risk of adulteration.

In an Aug. 9 statement, the FDA said that Levothyroxine and Liothyronine 15 mg, 30 mg, 60 mg, 90 mg, and 120 mg thyroid tablets are being recalled as precautionary measures.

They were “manufactured using active pharmaceutical ingredients that were sourced prior to the FDA’s import alert” regarding a Chinese firm that made the products, the agency said.
