An investigation into the causes found that fewer than 1% of the FDA’s drug recalls are from CVS’ generic drugs, but several of the company’s drug recalls have been linked to the qualities of factories it uses for manufacturing its generic medications.
A spokesperson for CVS told Bloomberg that it selects factories based on “good manufacturing and ethical sourcing practices and the ability to meet our strict standards and testing practices.”
In the last decade, CVS has used at least 15 manufacturers that were cited for manufacturing problems which led to recalls of 133 recalls of its generic-brand drugs, which is twice as many as those of Walgreens, Bloomberg reported.
