Geritrex, LLC is recalling 25,848 units of Senna (sennosides 8.8 mg) Syrup due to the product failing impurity and degradation tests. The recall was initiated after reports of the liquid medication having an unusual odor and an unpleasant taste. Consumers using this laxative syrup may notice it does not meet quality standards, which could indicate the medication is breaking down or contains unintended impurities. The affected products include 8-ounce bottles sold nationwide under the Rij Pharmaceuticals and Geritrex labels.
The medication failed specific tests for impurities and degradation, which means the chemical composition of the syrup has changed over time. This can lead to a loss of effectiveness or the presence of unexpected byproducts that cause the reported foul smell and taste.
