(WTAJ) — An over-the-counter pain and fever medicine for infants and kids is being recalled across the nation.
KinderFarms, LLC issued a voluntary recall for KinderMed Infants’ Pain & Fever as well as KinderMed Kids’ Pain & Fever (oral suspension). The products are being recalled due to acetaminophen instability. Out of an abundance of caution, KinderFarms has made the decision to voluntarily recall all KinderMed Pain & Fever products.
Acetaminophen is the active ingredient in many pain-relieving medicines. As a result of the potential health risk with acetaminophen being outside of specification, the product may cause acute adverse health effects, including abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or jaundice at higher doses.
According to the FD release, the company has not received any reports of serious adverse effects from either of these products to date.
The impacted product being voluntarily recalled is all lots of:
- KinderMed Infants’ Pain & Fever (2 fluid ounces/59 mL), (Acetaminophen – 160 mg per 5 mL), Oral Suspension
UPC: 850001805698 - KinderMed Kids’ Pain & Fever (4 fluid ounces/118 mL), (Acetaminophen – 160 mg per 5 mL), Oral Suspension
UPC: 850001805728
The recall is for all products currently available nationwide in drug/pharmacies, supermarkets, direct delivery, national retailers and online.
