Complaint prompts recall of birth control pills prescribed in Canada – CTV
February 16, 2026
Two brands of birth control pills prescribed in Canada have been recalled due to packaging error.
The public advisory posted late last week warns users not to skip any doses, and to get to a pharmacy for a replacement or alternative if possible.
The recall by Teva Canada Inc. followed a complaint from a user who noted a package of the pills was “missing an entire blister card,” the notice from Friday said.
Upon investigation, the company issued a recall of two lots of Seasonique – tablets containing levonorgestrel, ethinyl estradiol, and ethinyl estradiol. It also recalled one lot of Seasonale, which contains levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol.
