On April 10, 2007, the United States Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA) alerted the public that glass bottles of Grifulvin V® (griseofulvin oral suspension) were being recalled from wholesalers and pharmacies after two reports of glass fragments found in bottles of the medication. Any consumers in possession of a glass bottle of Grifulvin V® should contact the pharmacy where they purchased the medication.
