criteria for informing patients about voluntary drug recalls?

I received a question from supply chain whether communication needs to go out to patients who received Apotex fluticasone given the voluntary recall. This is mostly coming from our retail rx, but I am curious whether anyone has criteria for sending communication out to patients. Thanks!
