From ground beef to medicine, there were multiple recalls issued this week for goods sold in Florida.
Here’s a break down of what’s been pulled off the shelves and what you need to do if you purchased any of the products.

FDA announces another blood pressure medication recall
The Food and Drug Administration has announced another blood pressure medication is under a recall.
This time, it is a specific lot made by Accord and the recall is due to the mislabeling of the medication.
The bottle, according to the FDA, is labeled as hydrochlorthiazide tablets, but the bottle in reality contains spronolactone tablets.
Consumers with questions can contact Accord at 1-855-869-1081 or via email at rxrecalls @inmar.com.
If you have taken the mislabeled medication, you can contact the FDA at this link.
Earlier this month, the FDA announced, and eventually expanded, the recall of Torrent Pharmaceuticals Limited's valsartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide tablets after trace amounts of N nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) were found in one of the drug's active ingredients.

Product Quest Manufacturing is recalling a slew of products as a precautionary measure after the company learned earlier this month of a microbial contamination affecting its .5-ounce bottles CVS Health 12 Hour Sinus Relief Nasal Mist, USDA officials said Tuesday. The items under recall include nasal products and baby oral gels manufactured at the Product Quest Manufacturing facility in Florida.
Officials warned in a recall notice that use of contaminated nasal products or oral gels could lead to colonization and a subsequent infection that can be life-threatening.

Enfamil powdered baby formula removed from CVS shelves
A Florida mother's discovery in her child's baby formula has led to all powdered Enfamil baby formula being pulled from CVS shelves.
Alison Denning said that container of Enfamil baby formula looked untampered, the protective seal still in place on the lid. But inside, Denning said something wasn’t right when she opened the container, WFTS reported.
“The bag was in it like this, this particular sticker was not fully attached and when I opened up this seal that wraps around was opened,” Denning told WFTS. “This smells like typical baking flour.”
Then this week, the company announced it was pulling Enfamil powder from stores nationwide:
Enfamil said there is no recall on its products, but says that anyone who uses them should check the appearance of the package. If parents and caregivers are unsure about the formula, they’re being directed to call the company’s hotline at 1-800-BABY123.
