Brief Answer:
Never heard of it

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

It is true that allopurinol is not to be given without consideration of its potential (some of them very serious) side effects. I've never heard of any recalls regarding this product except limited recalls involving specific lot numbers which is something common for many drugs.

If you've read about it on the internet, please share the link with me, so I can check this out and tell you if it's valid or not.

I hope this answers your question. Please let me know if you need further assistance.
Regards!
