RIJ Pharmaceutical LLC is recalling 107,709 bottles of various over-the-counter medications, including antacids, acetaminophen pain relievers, and senna syrups, due to manufacturing deviations. Testing of a water sample at the production facility showed a bacterial count that exceeded safety specifications, suggesting potential contamination during the manufacturing process. These products were distributed nationwide across the United States under several brands including Preferred Plus Pharmacy, RPC, GeriCare, Ritussin, Geritrex, and SDA Laboratories.
The presence of excessive aerobic bacteria in the water used for manufacturing can introduce harmful microorganisms into the finished liquid medications. If consumed, these contaminated products could cause serious infections, particularly in children, the elderly, or individuals with weakened immune systems.
