February 5, 2019 — Tris Pharma Inc. has expanded a recall for infant ibuprofen because the bottles may contain higher concentrations of the drug than is listed on the label.
The recalled products were sold at CVS, Walmart, and Family Dollar stores under brand-names such as CVS Health®, Walmart Equate®, and Family Wellness®.
The company announced a previous recall on December 5, 2018, warning that infants are more likely to experience an accidental overdose — including permanent kidney damage.
Other serious side effects may include:
“Adverse effects that may be experienced are nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain, or more rarely, diarrhea. Tinnitus, headache and gastrointestinal bleeding are also possible adverse effects.”
This voluntarily recall includes the six (6) lots listed below:
