What's with all these drug recalls lately

Last year my blood pressure medicine was recalled - twice. Now it's something else. All comtaminated with a potential cancer-causing compound. How and why is it getting into medicines?
From what I've read in numerous places, pharmaceutical companies get funding from the FDA.. so the FDA is pressured to approve drugs before they're adequately tested.

sorry- I made mistake- meant to say the pharma companies provide funding TO the FDA.
