Acetaminophen Child Strawberry Oral Suspension Recalled for Contaminated Excipient

Target-distributed Acetaminophen Child Strawberry Oral Suspension (160 mg/5 ml) is being recalled because it was manufactured with a contaminated excipient that was itself 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 involving a manufacturing deviation (use of contaminated excipient). The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations, and the hazard is manufacturing-process-related rather than a known direct safety threat. Per the rubric, Class II recalls without reported illness are typically scored as 2 (Moderate).
