I thought I would try and find out more about the t3 recall and came across this - the pharma industry is giving me the creeps.

I don't know if these stories are being covered up or untrue or its just no one is interested.

Hi Helen,

No, T3 has not been recalled. You can check for updates on the MHRA website. All recalls are posted there.
