The FA after reviewing the incident from Saturday's game charged the Ghanaian with violent conduct and acting in an improper manner, as reported by the BBC.
Kudus has until Thursday to respond to the charge, which could also see him receive an extended punishment.
Following the straight red card, the former Ajax star will serve a mandatory three-match ban, which starts this weekend with the visit of Manchester United.
The Right to Dream Academy graduate was beginning to pick form at the right time after back-to-back goals for the Hammers in the league before his latest setback.
How Kudus will be affected
His recent run of form is expected to suffer as he watches three or more matches from the sidelines.
With West Ham struggling at the early stages of the campaign, Julen Lopetegui could vcount on a more reliable player as replacement for the Ghanaian talisman.
Kudus just reached a new milestone in the Premier League with his tenth goal since arriving in England, per Transfermarkt.
