KinderFarms LLC has issued a voluntary recall for some of its products due to acetaminophen instability, the state Department of Health’s Food and Drug Branch said Friday.
KinderMed Infants’ Pain & Fever and KinderMed Kids’ Pain & Fever over-the-counter medication products were sold nationwide, including Hawaii, from drug/pharmacy retailers, supermarkets, direct online sales and online through major ecommerce sites.
Acetaminophen is a common active ingredient in many pain-relieving medicines, according to a DOH news release. As a result of the potential health risk with acetaminophen being outside of specification, the product may cause impacts such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and/or jaundice at higher doses.
To date, there have been no reports of serious adverse health effects associated with this recall, the DOH said.
The impacted products being recalled include 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.
No other KinderFarms LLC products are impacted by this recall.
The Food and Drug Branch advised consumers to immediately stop using the recalled products. Customers may return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund.
