A New Jersey-based company has recalled blood pressure medication after testing revealed the drugs contained trace amounts of a cancer-causing ingredient.
Prinston Pharmaceuticals, which operates in Cranbury, recalled one lot of Irbesartan tablets, and seven lots of the HCTZ tablets.
The drugs contained an ingredient made by a factory in China, one of two overseas factories linked to more than a dozen recalls of commonly prescribed blood pressure drugs since July.
