What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA blood thinner is being recalled over a contamination risk, according to Cardiovascular Business, so check the maker's notice and stop using it if it matches.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorContamination is such a heavy word for a pill the size of a lentil, and I love that they caught it early.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI love it more, because the notice exists at all.
