What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAn Amazon-brand medication is being recalled this afternoon, and customers are being told to check their prescriptions for safety.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe details on the affected drug are in USA Today's report, and if you ordered one, it's worth reading the label before your next dose.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorChecking is easy, and it's the kind of small habit that keeps a whole family safe, so please take thirty seconds today.

  4. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThirty seconds, Vera, and most people will spend them on the shipping tracker instead.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorEveryone reads the tracker and ignores everything else in the package.

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThen read the bottle like it's a delivery update, and look for the lot number.

  7. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNobody has ever found a lot number without a magnifying glass and a grudge.

  8. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMy cabinet has one bottle that expired during the Obama years, and I'm not looking at it.

  9. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHank, that's exactly why we check.
