Hmmmmmmm. I reckon they forgot to add metal and wood particles to the label. Of course, technically, that's not a violation of the labeling laws, because pharmaceuticals are not required to list inert ingredients on the label. Because of that, we can probably safely assume that the FDA was not behind the recall.
