Pfizer is recalling 14 lots of Lo/Ovral-28 tablets and 14 lots of Norgestrel/Ethinyl Estradiol tablets. The expiration dates on the products range from July 31, 2013, to March 31, 2014.

The company said, in a statement late Tuesday, that some blister packs may contain an inexact count of inert or active ingredient tablets and that the tablets may be out of sequence. The cause of the packing error was identified and corrected, the company said in the statement.

The birth-control pills are packaged in blister packs containing 21 tablets of active ingredients and seven tablets of inert ingredients. Pfizer said the daily regimen for the recalled oral contraceptives might be incorrect and leave women without adequate contraception.
