Children's ibuprofen recalled nationwide

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says thousands of bottles of children’s ibuprofen have been recalled after the firm received complaints about the presence of a foreign substance. 

The product was recalled earlier this month, but the FDA updated its classification this week to a Class II recall, which means "use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote."

The Class II classification is the FDA's second-highest urgency level.

The ibuprofen was sold in 4-fluid-ounce bottles at 100 milligrams per 5 milliliters and distributed across the United States. 

The packages included the lot numbers 7261973A and 7261974A with an expiration date of Jan. 31, 2027.
