Nearly 90,000 bottles of children's liquid pain medication recalled
[March 21, 2026]
WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly 90,000 bottles of a children's pain
reliever have been recalled due to reports of black specs and other
contaminants, according to federal regulators.
The Food and Drug Administration posted an online notice about the
recall of Taro Pharmaceuticals' Children's Ibuprofen Oral Suspension.
The company's website states that the product comes in a berry-flavored
solution and is recommended for children ages 2 to 11.
The FDA notice states that the recall was launched earlier this month
after customers reported “a gel-like mass and black particles in the
product.” Agency regulators categorized the action as one in which the
risk of serious injury or health consequences to consumers is “remote.”

 The medication was manufactured in
India by Strides Pharma Inc., which produces generic and
over-the-counter medicines for firms in the U.S. and many other
countries. Strides initiated the recall, according to the FDA
notice.
Neither Strides nor Taro Pharmaceuticals immediately responded to
requests for comment Friday morning.
