Pfizer has recalled one million birth control packs because of an error that mixed up the active and inactive pills in the 28-day package.

Some packets were found to have too many pills with active ingredients others were found to have too few.  The world's biggest drug maker is pulling 14 lots of the Lo/Ovral-28 tablets and 14 lots of a generic version of the pills.

Pfizer says consumers exposed to the incorrect packaging should begin using a non-hormonal form of contraception immediately.
