I do not believe that a faulty label on a batch of drugs would cause for an entire recall of the product as that would be extremely expensive for the company. Instead I believe the company would release a large statement explaining what happened this faulty labeled batch, and that anyone who receives their product should double check on the website that it is the correct drug. From there on the company should cease production until the small label error can be fixed. If someone is already prescribed to these drugs then there should be no worry of allergies. Also, most prescribed drugs are given a secondary label from their doctor detailing how and when to use the drug. However, if this is a store bought product and not OTC, a label defect may cause a large hit in sales for the company. I know personally I never buy something off the shelf with a missing label, especially medication. I do not believe that a faulty label would be a cause for a recall. Instead this would just warrant the company to create better production methods so that this incident does not keep occurring. The only reason that a recall should be necessary is if the product is killing, or making people sick.
