Children’s ibuprofen under recall for ‘foreign substance’
The Independent • • business
Key Points:
- The FDA has upgraded the recall of nearly 90,000 bottles of children’s ibuprofen to a Class II recall due to reports of a foreign substance, including a gel-like mass and black particles, in the medication.
- The recalled product, manufactured by Strides Pharma for Taro Pharmaceuticals USA, was sold nationwide in 4-fluid-ounce bottles with lot numbers 7261973A and 7261974A, expiring January 31, 2027.
- A Class II recall indicates the contaminated ibuprofen may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects, but serious or permanent harm is unlikely.
- No injuries or illnesses have been reported, but parents and caregivers are advised to stop using the affected bottles immediately and seek refunds
