Amazon is recalling over 112,000 bottles of extra-strength acetaminophen after consumers reported finding discolored tablets.

Amazon is recalling more than 112,000 bottles of Amazon-branded extra-strength acetaminophen (500 milligrams) after consumers reported finding discolored tablets. The recall covers 14,640 bottles with 200 caplets, 90,456 bottles with 500 caplets, and 7,836 bottles with 1,000 caplets, with affected lot numbers and expiration dates ranging through 2028.

Amazon confirmed the voluntary recall in a statement, saying it was made 'in coordination with the manufacturer, Aurohealth, and the FDA'. The affected products were manufactured in India and distributed by Amazon.com Services LLC in Seattle. The FDA issued a notice of the recall but has not classified it based on health risk level or identified the cause of the discoloration.

Neither Amazon nor the FDA has reported any injuries or specific health risks associated with the discolored tablets. The recall follows a similar action by Aurobindo Pharma USA Inc. in 2025 involving 325-milligram acetaminophen tablets also sold on Amazon due to discoloration.
