DG Health Children's Acetaminophen Recalled for Contaminated Excipient
Perrigo Company is recalling DG Health Children's Pain and Fever (acetaminophen) oral suspension because the product was manufactured with a contaminated excipient that was itself recalled by its supplier.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The source identifies this as an FDA Class II recall with a CGMP deviation involving a contaminated excipient. No illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text, and the hazard is manufacturing/control-based rather than an acute safety threat. This fits the Moderate category for manufacturing-related concerns without reported harm.
