Nearly 90,000 Bottles of Children’s Ibuprofen Recalled Due to Foreign Substance

Almost 90,000 bottles of children’s ibuprofen are being recalled because they may contain a foreign substance, as reported in a notice issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The affected product is Children’s Ibuprofen Oral Suspension, a liquid pain reliever manufactured in India by Strides Pharma for Taro Pharmaceuticals.

This medication, intended for children aged 2 to 11, is used to reduce pain and fever. The liquid ibuprofen comes in a berry flavor, as described on Taro’s website.

The recall was initiated by Strides Pharma on March 2 after receiving complaints that the bottles contained “a gel-like mass and black particles.” The affected medication was distributed nationwide, according to the FDA notice.

The FDA has classified this recall as Class II, indicating that exposure to the product could result in “temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences,” as stated on the agency’s website.

The recall number for this product is D-0390-2026.
