90,000 Bottles of Children's Ibuprofen Recalled Over Foreign Substance

A pharmaceutical company has recalled nearly 90,000 bottles of children’s ibuprofen for the potential presence of a foreign substance.

Strides Pharma, Inc., headquartered in India, has recalled about 89,592 bottles of its Children’s Ibuprofen Oral Suspension, according to a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Enforcement Report. The bottles may contain a foreign substance, as the company received complaints about a gel-like mass and black particles in the product.

On March 16, the FDA recognized the recall as a Class II recall, which means “use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”

Consumers who have the recalled ibuprofen should stop using it immediately.
