More than 112,000 bottles of Amazon-brand Extra Strength Acetaminophen are being recalled nationwide.
The FDA says consumers complained about discolored tablets in the affected lots.
The recall covers 200-, 500- and 1,000-count bottles of 500 mg acetaminophen sold through Amazon.
Consumers who keep a large bottle of generic pain reliever in the medicine cabinet should check the label and lot number.
Aurobindo Pharma USA Inc. is recalling more than 112,000 bottles of Amazon-brand Extra Strength Acetaminophen, 500 mg, after receiving consumer complaints about discolored tablets, according to a U.S. Food and Drug Administration enforcement report.
The recall was initiated Sept. 18 and involves products distributed nationwide by Amazon.com Services LLC. The FDA lists the reason for the recall as Discoloration: consumer complaints received for discolored tablets.
Acetaminophen is the active ingredient in Tylenol, but the recalled medicine is not Tylenol-branded medication. It is a generic acetaminophen product sold under Amazon's brand.
According to the FDA information, the recall involves approximately 112,932 bottles. The medicine was sold in three bottle sizes: 200 tablets, 500 tablets and 1,000 tablets.
Check these lot numbers
Consumers can determine whether they have recalled medicine by checking the lot number printed on the bottle.
The affected lots are:
200-count bottles
ACD125040A
500-count bottles
ACD124036A
ACD124030A
ACD124042A
ACD124048B
ACD125010A
1,000-count bottles
ACD124048A
The products carry NDC numbers 72288-692-20, 72288-692-50 and 72288-692-01, depending on bottle size.
The FDA enforcement information indicates the products were manufactured in India and distributed by Amazon.com Services LLC.
Recall has not yet been classified
As of the FDA's latest information, the recall is listed as not yet classified. That means the agency has not assigned it a Class I, II or III designation reflecting the level of potential health risk.
FDA explains that recall classifications are often made after a company has already begun removing a product from the market. A Class I recall involves a reasonable probability of serious health consequences or death, Class II generally involves temporary or medically reversible health consequences, and Class III involves products unlikely to cause adverse health consequences.

A recall of frozen organic berries sold at Walmart has been expanded to include additional lots, while one lot sold at Trader Joes has also been recalled.
The products may be contaminated with E. coli O145, which can cause severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting.
Consumers are being urged to check their freezers and either throw away the recalled berries or return them to the store for a refund.
Consumers who keep frozen fruit on hand for smoothies and other foods may want to take a close look at what's in their freezers.
Frutas y Hortalizas del Sur S.A. of San Carlos, Chile, has expanded an earlier recall of frozen organic blueberries and berry blends because they may be contaminated with a potentially dangerous strain of E. coli. The recalls began in July.
The expanded recall includes additional lots of Great Value Organic Triple Berry Blend and Great Value Organic Blueberries sold at Walmart, as well as one lot of Trader Joes Organic Mixed Berry Blend.
The recall is an expansion of actions that began July 3 and were expanded in September. The company said the latest action is being taken as a precaution after traceback information linked the products to frozen blueberries involved in the original recall.
Products included in the recall
The FDA says consumers should look for the following products:
Great Value Organic Triple Berry Blend, 10 ounces
UPC: 7874211226
Lot codes: 6 031 01 and 6 041 01
Best if used by: Jan. 31, 2028, and Feb. 10, 2028
Great Value Organic Blueberries, 10 ounces
UPC: 7874211213
Lot codes: 6 019 01, 6 040 01 and 6 163 01
Best if used by: Jan. 19, 2028; Feb. 9, 2028; and June 12, 2028
Trader Joes Organic Mixed Berry Blend, 12 ounces
UPC: 00977654
Lot code: 6 051 01
Best before: Feb. 20, 2028
The Great Value products were distributed to select Walmart stores in 30 states, as well as Puerto Rico. The Trader Joes product was distributed to stores in 26 states and the District of Columbia. Virginia is among the states where both brands were distributed.
Why E. coli O145 can be dangerous
The potential contaminant is E. coli O145, a Shiga toxin-producing E. coli, or STEC.
Infection can cause severe stomach cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea, which may be bloody. Most healthy people recover within about a week, but some infections can lead to hemolytic uremic syndrome, or HUS, a serious condition that can result in kidney failure.

Amazon has begun a new round of automatic refunds to Prime customers under its $2.5 billion settlement with the Federal Trade Commission.
Eligible consumers can receive refunds of their Prime membership fees totaling as much as $200, and they do not need to file a claim or fill out paperwork.
Payments are being sent by PayPal, Venmo, or mailed check, but consumers should watch the clock: payments expire 60 days after they are issued.
Amazon has begun sending another round of payments to consumers as part of its massive settlement with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) over the way it enrolled customers in Prime and handled cancellations.
The latest round began Oct. 1 and expands the number of Prime customers eligible to receive money. It also substantially increases the maximum amount an eligible consumer can receive.
Under a revised court order, eligible customers can receive refunds of Prime subscription fees totaling as much as $200. The previous maximum was $51.
The good news for consumers is that getting the money should require very little effort. Amazon is sending the new payments automatically.
Who qualifies?
The FTC says consumers must meet three requirements to qualify.
They must have been U.S. Amazon Prime customers and signed up through one of the enrollment processes challenged by the FTC between June 23, 2019, and June 23, 2025.
They must have unsuccessfully tried to cancel Prime through Amazon's online cancellation process between June 23, 2019, and June 23, 2025.
They also must have used no more than 20 Prime benefits during any 12-month period after enrolling. Prime benefits can include services such as Prime Video and Prime Music that are offered free to Prime members.
The latest change is important because it brings another group of customers into the settlement.
The original refund program generally limited payments to consumers with relatively little use of Prime. Under the revised order, Amazon is now making automatic payments to millions of additional consumers who used between 11 and 20 Prime benefits during a one-year period. Those payments began Oct. 1.
Consumers don't have to file a claim
Perhaps the most important thing consumers need to know is what they don't have to do: There is no new claim form to fill out.
The FTC says eligible consumers don't need to submit a claim, respond to a notice, or complete additional paperwork.
