Tris Pharma expands recall of infant ibuprofen sold in Walmart, CVS

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Tris Pharma, Inc. has expanded its voluntary recall of infant liquid ibuprofen by adding three more lots that were sold at Walmart and CVS Pharmacy.

The company issued the recall after reports that the products may contain higher concentrations of ibuprofen.

The products are used as pain relievers and fever reducers.

Infants who are more susceptible to a higher potency level of the drug could be more vulnerable to permanent NSAID-associated renal injury, a news release said.
