Topamax Recall

A Topamax recall? When I saw that headline, I assumed it was related to the Topamax birth defects concerns that I wrote about here, here and here.
Alas, no. This is another J&J recall for bad odor which, while annoying to consumers, is probably ultimately harmless. Johnson & Johnson's Topamax recall is for 57,000 bottles of the anti-epilepsy drug as a result of four reports of bad odor. Moreover, J&J says it thinks only about 6,000 bottles of Topamax that may have a bad odor are still on the market. Although, at this point, If J&J says 6,000, we should all just assume that means 12,000.
