40 mg Lipitor recall (only specific bottles)

Hi, I posted this in my forum (dysautonomia) and thought I would drop it in the other cardiovascular-related forums wherever I didn't already see it posted in case others weren't aware.  

Please read the recall notice if you take 40 mg pills of Lipitor and think this may be relevant to you.  Contact your pharmacy for verification if you're still not sure if your medicine is safe after reading:

how odd. All the 40mg of Lipitor I have taken have been supplied in foil wrappers in boxes, never in bottles? Maybe they are packed differently for the uk?
