Last week, in the midst of flu season, Tris Pharma, Inc. voluntarily recalled three batches of infant ibuprofen that may contain an increased amount of ibuprofen.
The recalled products include 0.5-ounce bottles labeled “Infants’ Ibuprofen Concentrated Oral Suspension, USP (NSAID) 50 mg per 1.25 mL.
” They were sold across the United States in Walmart, CVS, and Family Dollar stores, according to a statement posted by the company on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website.
Fortunately, there have been no reports of illness caused by these products.
However, if they’re sitting in your medicine cabinet, you’ll want to chuck them ASAP, as ingesting higher concentrations of ibuprofen can be very dangerous to infants.
