For the second time this month there is a birth control recall.

Glenmark Generics is recalling seven lots of generic norgestimate and ethinyl estradiol tablets.

The affected lot numbers are 04110101, 04110106, 04110107, 04110114, 04110124, 04110129 and 04110134.

A packaging error left the pills in the wrong order, which could make women using those pills more likely to get pregnant.

The pills were distributed last year between September 21st and December 30th.

Less than a month ago Pfizer recalled nearly 1 million packages of birth control.
