Johnson & Johnson has issued another round of recalls for drugs produced at the shuttered manufacturing plant in Fort Washington. Albert Wertheimer, of Temple’s School of Pharmacy, said he sees the latest recall as further evidence that the company has faced pressure to cut corners in order to turn a profit. "Drugs are made according to cookbooks, just like you would make brownies in your kitchen,” Wertheimer said. “You take two cups of this and one gram of that, and so for it to not come out right is shocking, because a whole bunch of people have to sign off on it and it has to be tested before it ever leaves the plant."
