According to the recall, “There is a remote probability that infants, who may be more susceptible to a higher potency level of drug, may be more vulnerable to permanent NSAID-associated renal injury,” and that “toxicity is generally accepted to be a concern in infants at doses in excess of 700% of the recommended dose.” This means that permanent kidney damage is possible if an infant is given 7 times over the recommended dosage.
