Children’s Pain and Fever Medications Recalled Due to Health Concerns

Nov 20, 2023

KinderFarms, LLC has announced a recall of all lots of KinderMed Infants’ Pain & Fever (oral suspension) and KinderMed Kids’ Pain & Fever (oral suspension) due to a potential health risk associated with acetaminophen instability. The products were produced and packaged by a major U.S.-based OTC pharmaceutical manufacturer.

The recall was initiated out of an abundance of caution after ongoing testing of sample batches indicated that some product lots were no longer within the required specifications, and may pose a health risk. The impacted products include all lots of KinderMed Infants’ Pain & Fever (2 fluid ounces/59 mL), (Acetaminophen – 160 mg per 5 mL), Oral Suspension, and KinderMed Kids’ Pain & Fever (4 fluid ounces/118 mL), (Acetaminophen – 160 mg per 5 mL), Oral Suspension.

As a result of the potential health risk with acetaminophen being outside of specification, the product may cause acute adverse health effects, including abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or jaundice at higher doses. KinderFarms has not received any reports of serious adverse events from either of these products to date.

The products are available nationwide in drug/pharmacy, supermarkets, direct delivery and national retailers, and online through major e-commerce sites. Consumers who purchased either of these two products should stop using them and should return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at consumerrelations@kinderfarms.com or 800-996-2930.
