Just when you thought you were safe, yet another AED is being recalled for the possibility of contamination.

57,000 bottles of Topamax (topiramate), are being pulled by a division of J&J, although the pharmaceutical company claims only about 6,000 bottles remain in circulation.

The medicines are being recalled because of a mouldy smell thought to be contamination with TBA — a preservative used in wooden shipping pallets. (UGH!)
