Mumbai:
Pfizer
India, which owns the Gelusil brand, has called back all
dosage forms of its liquid Gelusil due to odour-related
problems.
The
company has also broken ties with Greesha Laboratories
Pvt Ltd, the third party manufacturer that had apparently
produced the defective product.
The
company decided to withdraw all packs of the liquid product,
as opposed to lifting only the defective pieces, to prevent
any further repercussions related to this lot of products.
Pfizer
is now scouting for a new contract manufacturer for these
products. Meanwhile, Pfizer reiterated that the withdrawal
of the product
is a voluntary recall, as part of its "commitment
to product quality." The recall is not related to
any risk to health concerns a company official said.
