Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Family Dollar Stores has recalled several Advil brand pain relief and fever reducer products, including Advil Liqui-Gels (ibuprofen), Advil Dual Action (acetaminophen and ibuprofen), and standard Advil Ibuprofen tablets and caplets. These over-the-counter medications were stored and distributed from distribution centers at temperatures outside of the requirements listed on their labels between July 28, 2022, and March 31, 2023. While no injuries have been reported, improper storage temperatures can affect the quality and effectiveness of the medication.

Risk

Medications stored outside of their specific temperature requirements may degrade, which can lead to the medicine being less effective or having a shorter shelf life than stated. This poses a risk that the consumer may not receive the intended dose or therapeutic effect when treating pain or fever.
