KinderFarms recalling pain and fever meds for children

INDIANA – A nationally sold children’s pain relief KinderFarms is being recalled due to instability in acetaminophen, an active ingredient in the company’s product.

KinderFarms, LLC, has been recalling products from shelves since November 13. These products are KinderMed Kids Pain and Fever and KinderMed Infant Pain and Fever.

According to the FDA, the medications are voluntarily recalled due to “acetaminophen instability.”

Ongoing testing of samples indicates some products were not up to the FDA’s standards.

The product may cause acute adverse health effects, including abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or jaundice at higher doses.

The company has not received any reports of serious adverse events from either of these products to date. No other KinderFarms products are impacted by this recall.

These products are available nationwide in drugstores and pharmacies, supermarkets, direct-delivery companies, national retailers, and online through major e-commerce sites.
