Ibuprofen 800mg recall

FDA recall D-0041-2025 · initiated Aug 9, 2024

By the pharmaranks editorial teamReviewed against the FDA (openFDA) sourcesUpdated Nov 13, 2024How we research

Direct Rx recalled Ibuprofen 800mg in Aug 2024 — an FDA Class II recall (D-0041-2025) because Failed Impurities/Degradation Specifications: Product failed impurity specifications at the 18-month stability testing.

May cause temporary or medically reversible harm; low probability of serious harm.

Why it was recalled

Failed Impurities/Degradation Specifications: Product failed impurity specifications at the 18-month stability testing.

Wrong strength, or it did not keep

The product did not contain what the label promised, or stopped meeting specification before its expiry date. Under-strength medicine can mean an untreated condition.

This is a manufacturing or quality failure, not a finding that the medicine is unsafe to take — across every recall we hold, none was issued for that reason. It does not mean the batch was harmless.
