Yes I have confirmed this with Endo, My Pharmisist & my Doctor. Per my Pharmacy, and a direct email from Endo they claim the recall is because of dosage and bottle labeling no one would confirm or deny the reformulation to crush proof Opana ER 10, 20, 30 & 40 MG tabs.

Thank you for contacting Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
We apologize for the short term supply disruption of our Opana line due to the issues at our contract manufacturer who needed to implement manufacturing process improvements. These improvements are intended to address rare instances of errors in the packaging of the tablets, potentially resulting in product mix-ups.
This temporary supply disruption is not related to the efficacy or safety of these products.
We started shipping the Opana 10MG; Opana 20MG and Opana 30MG yesterday to our wholesalers and will continue to release and ship the product now in hopes of having all the stores supplied within the next few weeks.
We do not have a release date yet on the Opana 40MG but we could be releasing this strength to ship at any time.
You may also contact our Opana Pharmacy Locator at (877) 498-3869 to assist you with finding a pharmacy in your area with product.
I hope this was helpful in some way and should you have further questions, please feel free to contact Endo Customer Service at 1-800-462-3636.
Sincerely,
Endo Customer Service
