What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWe are interrupting our coverage with a developing story: the Houston Chronicle reports that one hundred twelve thousand bottles of pain reliever are recalled over discolored tablets, and our team coverage continues.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo the pills are the wrong color. Just the color?
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe Chronicle says discolored, Chip. I have covered coups with less paperwork.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI just checked my bathroom cabinet, and I'm staring right at a bottle of something purple. Or maybe blue. The point is, I have no idea what color my pills should be.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThen you are the audience this recall was written for. Check the label and the bottle, and call your pharmacist.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWe will update you if it becomes slightly more important.
