Johnson & Johnson is again recalling a prescription drug because of an odd musty odor likely caused by a chemical on shipping pallets. J&J is recalling four lots of its HIV medicine, Prezista, at the wholesale and pharmacy level in Austria, Germany, Ireland and the United Kingdom. The company may also recall a lot from Canada. Fewer than 2,000 bottles of the pills are believed to still be in the marketplace in those countries. Patients should not stop taking the medication, according to Johnson & Johnson, which will replace any affected bottles. No cases of serious patient harm have been reported, but four consumer reports of the musty, moldy odor led to the recall.
