The current ibuprofen recall in the news is for a children’s liquid ibuprofen product, not adult tablets.

Quick Scoop

  • The recall affects Children’s Ibuprofen Oral Suspension, 100 mg per 5 mL (berry‑flavored liquid).
  • It was manufactured by Strides Pharma Inc. (India) for Taro Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc..
  • Bottle size: 4 fl oz / 120 mL bottles intended for children ages 2–11.
  • About 89,592–90,000 bottles were recalled across the U.S.
  • Reason: reports of a “gel‑like mass” and black/dark particles (a foreign substance) seen in some bottles.
  • The FDA classified it as a Class II recall , meaning the risk of serious harm is considered low and effects would likely be temporary or medically reversible.

Specific product details

  • Product name on packaging: likely along the lines of “Children’s Ibuprofen Oral Suspension, USP, 100 mg per 5 mL”.
  • Lot codes involved: 7261973A and 7261974A.
  • Expiration date on recalled bottles: 01/31/2027.

If someone has children’s ibuprofen at home that matches brand (Taro/Strides), liquid suspension, 4 oz, 100 mg/5 mL, berry flavor, and those lot numbers with 01/31/2027 expiry , they should stop using it and follow the recall instructions from the FDA or the manufacturer (often return or discard and contact for a refund/replacement).
