Recalls: Generic drugs, shrimp skewers, tofu

The following recalls were announced Friday:

_Specific lots of five generic drugs marketed by ETHEX Corp. were voluntarily recalled due to the possibility that they may contain oversized tablets. Oversized tablets may contain more than the intended levels of the active drug ingredient, which could result in patients receiving as much as about twice the expected dosage.

Overdoses of Propafenone HCl, Isosorbide Mononitrate, Morphine sulfate and Dextroamphetamine Sulfate can have serious or life-threatening consequences — ranging from irregular heartbeat and low blood pressure, fainting and low blood pressure, difficulty breathing and rapid heart rate.

Any customer inquiries related to this recall should be addressed to ETHEX Customer Service at 1-800-748-1472, or fax to ETHEX Customer Service at 314-646-3751 or sent via e-mail to: customer-service@ethex.com.

Shrimp Skewer lots from China not listing sulfites as an ingredient are being recalled nationwide. No illnesses have been reported to date.

Consumers who have purchased Sea-Best brand 1.5 lb. Shrimp Skewers labeled as product of China not containing sulfites in the ingredients are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.

The code date printed in white on the easy open zipper end is: 10 H148 A,B,C or D. The products could cause an allergic reaction if consumed by any individuals allergic to milk.
