Amazon Acetaminophen Bottles Recalled by FDA
More than 100,000 bottles are included in the recall.
Aurobindo Pharma USA Inc. began a voluntary recall on September 18 covering more than 100,000 bottles of acetaminophen carrying Amazon branding. The company acted after consumers complained that some tablets were discolored. The affected medicine was available across the country through Amazon.
The products contain extra-strength caplets with 500 mg of acetaminophen. They came in three bottle sizes: 200 tablets, 500 tablets, or 1,000 tablets. Those details can help distinguish the recalled product from other pain relievers stored at home.
The FDA had not assigned the recall a risk classification. People with recalled caplets were advised to avoid taking them and discard them. Anyone who had already used the tablets and developed health concerns was directed to contact a doctor promptly. The FDA’s enforcement report provides additional recall information.
For adults who keep over-the-counter pain relief available for headaches or fever, the recall makes the bottle’s brand, strength, and tablet count especially relevant. Checking those identifying details can show whether medicine purchased through Amazon matches the product involved.
