Recall Reminder – Walmart, CVS Children’s Ibuprofen Recalled

It's that time of year. The temperature has dropped and germs are looking for a warm space to occupy, which inevitably will be your child's body at some point in time. Before that happens, check your medicine cabinet to make sure you're not giving them one of the ibuprofen brands currently under recall.

Tris Pharma, makers of children's ibuprofen, announced the recall of three brands of children's ibuprofen on December 5th due to "a potential higher concentration of Ibuprofen of less than 10% above the specified limit in some bottles from these three batches."

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services tweeted a reminder of the recall Monday morning, sharing photos of the boxes affected.

If you have any of these products, here's what to look for on the packaging, courtesy of the Food and Drugh Administration, to see if what you have is under the recall.
