On Nov. 13, 2023, KinderFarms, LLC announced they are voluntarily recalling “all lots of KinderMed Infants’ Pain & Fever (oral suspension) and KinderMed Kids’ Pain & Fever (oral suspension) to the retail and consumer level,” the U.S. Food & Drug Administration reported.
Due to “acetaminophen instability,” which causes “acute adverse health effects, including abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or jaundice at higher doses,” KinderFarms made the decision to recall the products.
