A voluntary recall for three liquid infant ibuprofens sold at Walmart, CVS and Family Dollar have been issued.
On Thursday, Tris Pharma Inc., a New Jersey-based pharmaceutical company, released a statement confirming three lots of Infants’ Ibuprofen Concentrated Oral Suspension, USP (NSAID) 50 mg per 1.25 mL — sold in 0.5 oz. bottles in stores — have been found to “potentially have higher concentrations of ibuprofen.”
The liquid ibuprofen, which is intended to be used as a pain reliever and fever reducer, is sold under the names Family Wellness, Equate, and CVS Health.
The company also stated there is a “remote possibility” infants, who are more susceptible to a higher potency level of the drug, may be more vulnerable to permanent nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-associated kidney injury.
Babies and young children may also experience nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain or diarrhea. Possible adverse effects include tinnitus, headache and gastrointestinal bleeding.
