Children's Cherry Acetaminophen Oral Suspension Recalled for Contaminated Excipient
Perrigo is recalling Children's Cherry Flavored Acetaminophen Oral Suspension (160mg/5ml) because the product was manufactured with a contaminated excipient that was recalled from the supplier.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries documented in the source text. The hazard is manufacturing contamination of an excipient, which presents a theoretical risk but falls under precautionary/CGMP-deviation recalls typical of Class II drug recalls without confirmed harm.
