HONOLULU – The Hawaiʻi State Department of Health (DOH) Food and Drug Branch (FDB) is alerting residents to a voluntary recall by KinderFarms, LLC for KinderMed Infants’ Pain & Fever and KinderMed Kids’ Pain & Fever OTC medication products because of acetaminophen instability. These products were sold nationwide, including Hawaiʻi, from drug/pharmacy retailers, supermarkets, direct online sales, and online through major e-commerce sites.

To date, there have been no reports of serious adverse events associated with this recall.
