Label Mix-Up: Pain Relief Recalled by Prodose
4 Nov
Summary
- Over 100,000 bottles of pain relief medication were recalled.
- A labeling error incorrectly identified the medication as a PM formula.
- The affected product was commonly sold at Dollar Tree stores.
Prodose, Inc. initiated a voluntary recall of 100,134 bottles of ValuHealth Extra Strength Pain Relief Acetaminophen on October 14, 2026. This action, categorized as a Class III recall by the FDA, stems from a significant labeling discrepancy. While the outer bottle label accurately identified the product, the inner label erroneously stated it was a "Pain Relief PM" formula.
This specific ValuHealth product, lot number P260252 with a UPC of 850026889000 and an expiration date of April 30, 2029, is commonly found at Dollar Tree stores. The FDA classifies Class III recalls as the least severe, indicating that exposure to the product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences. The recall concluded on October 26, 2026.
This incident follows a similar recall approximately two months prior, where over 100,000 bottles of Amazon-branded acetaminophen were recalled due to tablet discoloration. However, that discoloration did not affect the medication's safety or efficacy, and no adverse events were reported.
