I haven't been able to find anything online about it being recalled. I know they have those commercials from lawyers saying to call if you have a claim, but they have them for every birth control on the market. If I were you, I would call your doctor and ask if it has been recalled, and if it has get it removed. If it hasn't, then it's up to you as to whether you want to continue to use it.
