                                                                    Exhibit 99.1

   PERRIGO ANNOUNCES VOLUNTARY PRODUCT RECALL AND REAFFIRMS FULL YEAR EARNINGS

               (Nationwide Recall of Acetaminophen 500 Mg Caplets)

     Contact:
     Perrigo Consumer Affairs Department
     (877) 546-0454

     ALLEGAN, Mich., Nov. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Perrigo Company
(Nasdaq: PRGO; TASE) announced today that it has initiated a voluntary,
nationwide product recall to the retail level of certain lots of its store brand
Acetaminophen 500 mg caplets containing raw material purchased from a third
party supplier. This OTC product is indicated for pain relief and fever
reduction.

     John Hendrickson, EVP and General Manager of Perrigo Consumer Healthcare
stated, "Our quality control systems noted trace amounts of metal particulate in
a very small number of these caplet products. Although the frequency of
occurrence is very low, the probability of health risk is remote, and there have
been no reports of injuries or illness related to this incident, we are taking
this measure to maintain the highest possible product quality standards for our
retail customers and their store brand consumers."

     Perrigo is informing its customers, including distributors and retailers,
about this recall today, which affects 383 batches, and has outlined steps it
will take to facilitate product replacement. Questions or concerns about this
product should be directed to Perrigo's Consumer Affairs Department, toll free,
877-546-0454. Any adverse reactions experienced with the use of this product
should also be reported to the FDA MedWatch Program by phone at 800-FDA-1088, by
fax at 800-FDA-0178 or on the MedWatch website at http://www.fda.gov/medwatch.
Perrigo continues to proactively work with the FDA throughout this process.

     The operational scope and financial impact of this issue were not estimable
at the time of the October 31, 2006 earnings conference call and related Form
8-K filing with the SEC. As the Company obtained more information, the decision
was reached to recall these products. The total cost of the recall for sales
returns, handling of on-hand inventories and disposal is estimated to be $2.9
million. Discussions are on-going with the raw material supplier to determine
the extent to which the recall-related costs may be recoverable.

     The Company determined that a portion of the total cost of the recall
related to the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Therefore, the fiscal first quarter
results included in the Form 10-Q filing with the SEC today will include a
charge after-tax of $667 thousand or $0.01 EPS. As a result, fiscal first
quarter EPS is $0.18 versus the $0.19 previously communicated.

     Perrigo reaffirms its full year fiscal 2007 earnings range of $0.86 - $0.91
per share excluding restructuring costs related to the previously announced
plant closures.

     The Perrigo Company is a leading global healthcare supplier and the world's
largest manufacturer of over-the-counter (OTC) pharmaceutical and nutritional
products for the store brand market. Store brand products are sold by food,
drug, mass merchandise, dollar store and club store retailers under their own
labels. The Company also develops, manufactures and markets prescription generic
drugs, active pharmaceutical ingredients and consumer products, and operates
manufacturing facilities in the United States, Israel, United Kingdom, Mexico,
Germany and China. Visit Perrigo on the Internet (http://www.perrigo.com).
