‘Field action’ announced for LIFEPAK® 15 Monitor/ Defibrillator
Three companies have issued recalls this week, two for medications and one for a medical device.
Lamotrigine Tablets
Taro Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc. on Jan. 10 issued a voluntarily nation-wide recall of one lot of Lamotrigine 100 mg tablets to the consumer level.
This single lot of Lamotrigine 100 mg Tablets Lot #331771 (expiration date June 2021) was found to have been cross-contaminated with a small amount of another drug substance (Enalapril Maleate) used to manufacture another product at the same facility.
Lamotrigine 100 mg Tablets are indicated for Epilepsy and Bipolar disorder. This product is packaged in white plastic bottles with screw cap closure, and each bottle contains 100 tablets. Each bottle is labeled to indicate the name of the product, Lamotrigine Tablets USP, 100 mg, the NDC #51672-4131-1 (see image of container label below), the lot number 331771 and expiration date of June 2021.
Use of Lamotrigine 100 mg Tablets could potentially result in exposure to a small amount of Enalapril Maleate, if present in the product in question
Enalapril Maleate is a drug substance indicated for hypertension and congestive heart failure. There is potential with chronic exposure to Enalapril Maleate to impact users particularly if they are small children or pregnant women. Enalapril Maleate is also associated with risk of birth defects in a developing fetus. Therefore, there is risk associated with the continued, long-term use of that lot of Lamotrigine 100 mg tablets.
Lamotrigine 100 mg Tablets, Lot # 331771 were distributed to wholesale distributors in the US market between Aug. 23 and Aug. 30, 2019.

Concerning what she needs to improve on, Erdmier said all three lifts because her lofty goals include a 350 pound lift in squat, a 125 pound lift in bench press and a 350 pound dead lift. She said she is currently lifting weights about four times a week.

Then he said after that, it all fell apart. Coach Aguayo said the Lady Cats made a lot of mistakes that made it harder for them to come back and take control of the game. Coach Aguayo said it was a rough start to the tournament. He said the Lady Cats were disappointed but he said all they can do is keep their heads up and continue to work hard for games ahead. The Lady Cats season record is now 0-1-1.

Cooper Woman Arrested in Sulphur Springs On Collin County Warrant
A 30-year-old Cooper woman was taken into custody in Sulphur Springs early Friday morning on a Collin County warrant, according to jail reports.
A Hopkins County sheriff’s deputy reported conducting a traffic stop on gray Chevrolet sport utility vehicle around 12 a.m. Jan. 10 on State Highway 19 north at Loop 301 after noticing the vehicle defective license plate light.
The deputy contacted the 30-year-old woman in the SUV. A records check reportedly showed the woman to be wanted by Collin County authorities for violation of probation on a theft of property valued at $100 or more but less than $750 charge. Consequently, the woman was arrested at 12:22 a.m. Jan. 10 on the charge, according to arrest reports.
The Cooper woman remained in Hopkins County jail late Friday morning, Jan. 10, on the misdemeanor charge. Bond was set at $1,000, according to jail reports.
Welfare Check Results In Cumby Man's Arrest
A request for sheriff’s officers to check the welfare of person at his County Road 4131 address during the lunch hour Thursday resulted in a Cumby man’s arrest on a misdemeanor warrant and felony controlled substance charge, according to sheriff’s reports.
Hopkins County sheriff’s deputies reported being dispatched around 12:30 p.m. Jan. 9 to the CR 4131 address after someone expressed concern for the welfare of resident Bryan Lee Windstead. Communications operators also advised the 31-year-old Cumby man had an outstanding warrant for his arrest on a criminal mischief resulting in damage or loss of $100 or more but less than $750, Hopkins County Sheriff’s Sgt. Tanner Steward and Cpl. Todd Evans noted in arrest reports.
Upon the arrival, the sheriff’s officers reported seeing Winstead exit from a garage next to the residence. Winstead immediately reached into his front jacket pocket and appeared, to the officer,s to be extremely nervous when contacted by law enforcement, the deputies alleged in arrest reports.
Winstead was reportedly advised to stop reaching into his pocket as a precaution for officer safety. When asked, the man allegedly denied having any weapons on him. When told he would be frisked for weapons, Winstead allegedly admitted he was in possession of drugs and let an officer search his pockets. An officer allegedly found a hypodermic syringe containing suspected methamphetamine in one front jacket pocket.
Upon being taken into custody, the man allegedly asked the deputies to retrieve drug paraphernalia from the garage to keep the items out of the reach of children. Contraband was secured and Winstead was taken to jail, deputes noted in arrest reports.
The contraband and packaging reportedly weighed 2.57 grams; the substance seized also allegedly field-tested positive for methamphetamine. Consequently, Winstead was booked not only on the misdemeanor criminal mischief warrant but also for possession of 1 gram or more but less than 4 grams of a Penalty Group 1 controlled substance, according to arrest reports.
Winstead remained in Hopkins County jail Friday morning, Jan. 10. Bond was set at $1,000 on the criminal mischief charge and $10,000 on the felony controlled substance charge, according to jail reports.
