Pill-pocalypse

One million packages of birth control pills have been voluntarily recalled after Pfizer announced that the drugs might not contain enough hormones to prevent pregnancy!

Soooo...if they don't prevent pregnancy, shouldn't we just call them "one-a-day FAIL" pills?

The pills in questions are called Lo/Ovral-28, Norgestrel and Ethinyl Estradiol. Some of the recalled packages contain too many active pills while others don't contain enough. Whoopsie-daisy! Pfizer's calling it a "packaging error" but it's more like buying a new pair of shoes only to bring them home and discover there's only one shoe in the box...and then they get you pregnant.

Pfizer is recommending that all women on the recalled pills begin using a backup form of birth control.

What are the chances this is just an elaborate scheme to sell more EPT pregnancy tests - also made by Pfizer.
