Acetaminophen Child Strawberry Suspension Recalled for Contaminated Excipient
Perrigo Company PLC is recalling Acetaminophen Child Strawberry Oral Suspension (160 mg/5 ml) due to use of a contaminated excipient. The product was manufactured with a recalled ingredient from the excipient 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. The hazard stems from a manufacturing deviation involving a contaminated excipient, which represents a quality/purity issue rather than a known high-risk pathogen or serious injury threat. This fits the Moderate category for manufacturing-related quality recalls without reported harm.
