Glaxo's Antibiotic Recall

Some folks I'd rather not mess with - the Chinese government - has ordered Glaxo to a recall of an antibiotic medication that contained trace levels of a plasticiser. China's version of the FDA found small amounts of Di-isodecyl phthalate, an additive used in plastics that may cause liver problems. The medication, a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium, is used to numerous infections.
