A drug company is recalling all of its drugs for people and pets because it can’t assure the quality, according to a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announcement on Wednesday.

Akorn Operating Company LLC said that it filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy earlier this year and as a result, “ceased and shutdown all operations and terminated all its employees” in the United States, the announcement said.
