Aptalis Recalls SourceCF Pediatric Multivitamin Drops Due to Shelf Life Concerns

Aptalis Pharma is recalling SourceCF Pediatric Drops because the formulation may not support the labeled shelf life. The recall covers 14,439 units distributed in the US, Italy, Canada, and Brazil.

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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which typically involves a situation that could cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The hazard is related to shelf-life stability rather than an acute contamination or injury risk, fitting the Moderate category for low-risk contamination or labeling/stability issues.
