Nearly 90,000 bottles of children’s ibuprofen have been recalled across the United States after "foreign matter" was discovered in the product.
According to an FDA enforcement report, Strides Pharma Inc. is conducting the recall following reports of gel-like masses and black particles appearing in the medication.
The affected product is ibuprofen oral suspension 100 mg for children, packaged in 4-ounce bottles and distributed nationwide.
The two recalled lots are: 7261973A and 7261974A, with an expiration date of January 31, 2027.
The FDA advises consumers to stop using these products immediately if they possess bottles from these lots.
While there have been no reports of adverse health effects yet, the presence of foreign matter in medication poses a high risk to young children.
Parents and caregivers should check the lot codes on products, including those at daycare centers, and contact the distributor if assistance is needed.
