New York, NY – Pfizer Consumer Healthcare, a business of Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE), announced today a voluntary recall of one lot of its ThermaCare HeatWraps Menstrual product distributed in the United States and Puerto Rico.

The issue is limited to the recalled lot.  No other ThermaCare products are impacted.  Pfizer has notified the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
