A drugmaker in North Jersey is recalling nearly 90,000 bottles of children’s liquid ibuprofen because they could have foreign substances in them.

The FDA issued the nationwide recall for 4-ounce bottles of Children’s Ibuprofen Oral Suspension. They have lot numbers 7261973A and 7261974A and an expiration date of Jan. 31, 2027. The FDA says there have been reports of a gel-like mass and black particles in the medicine. The drug was made by Strides Pharma in Bridgewater and sold under the brand name Taro Pharmaceuticals.

If you have any of it, officials say you should stop using it immediately.

The project to cap the Vine Street Expressway lives on. The Chinatown Stitch is getting $10 million to complete its design phase.

The Inquirer reports that the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission approved diverting federal highway funds.

There have been questions about the future of the plan to reconnect Chinatown since Congress passed President Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill." The legislation killed a $150 million grant for the cap on the highway from 10th to 12th streets.

Now, planners have to find a new source for that cash. But, they say, completing the design will allow the project to be "shovel-ready" if that money comes through.

Authorities have arrested 21 men they say terrorized South Philadelphia in nearly two dozen violent incidents, including a homicide.

They say a grand jury recommended charges for the defendants — ranging from 18 to 35 years old — who have been involved in group or gang violence — most accused of shootings and carjackings.

Assistant District Attorney with the Gun Violence Task Force, Adam Farraye, says the murder involved an 18-year-old who was killed nearly three years ago while riding in a car with his brother along Ritner Street.

A controversial monument that once stood in Wilmington, Delaware, is heading to Washington, D.C.

Erected in 1923, the statue of Founding Father Caesar Rodney honored his famous 80-mile ride in 1776 from Dover to Philadelphia to cast the deciding vote for the Declaration of Independence.

It was taken down during the 2020 racial justice protests over revelations he enslaved more than 200 people, a fact critics say must be acknowledged.

The Trump administration plans to install the statue in Freedom Plaza for up to six months as part of America's 250th anniversary celebration.

The temporary installation is expected to reignite debate over how the country remembers its past.
